Chris Cornell - Murder Of Blue Skies Lyrics






You flew in on the wind
Was a day that I won't forget
Told me to let you in
And that I would not regret it
But you had a touch as cool as rain
And only once the weather changed

Murderer of blue skies
I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
Though I may bend
From time to time
I can't wait to never be with you again

Now, the truth will set you free
But all you had was lying in you
So you built a cage for me
All the while pretending to be
A living saint with a thorny crown
And me condemned to be your clown
I applaud you as you take a bow

I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
Though I may bend
From time to time
I can't wait to never be with you

Always thought that I pride myself on patience
But it's wearing thin
Never thought that falling for you only meant
Falling down

I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
Though I may bend

I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
Though I may bend
From time to time
I can't wait to never be with you again
I can't wait to never be with you again

    You flew in on the wind
    Was a day that I won't forget
    Told me to let you in
    And that I would not regret it
    But you had a touch as cool as rain
    And only once the weather changed

    Murder of blue skies
    I can’t wait
    To never be with you again
    And I can’t wait
    To lead a life that you’re not in
    And I won't break
    The limb they bend
    From time to time
    I can’t wait to never be with you again

    Now, the truth will set you free
    But you had was lying in you
    So you built a cage for me
    All the while pretending to be
    A living saint with a thorny crown
    And me condemned to be your clown
    I applaud you as you take a bow

    I can’t wait
    To never be with you again
    And I can’t wait
    To lead a life that you’re not in
    And I won't break
    The limb they bend
    From time to time
    I can’t wait to never be with you

    I always thought that I pride myself on patience
    But it’s wearing thin
    Never thought that falling for you only meant
    Falling down

    I can’t wait
    To never be with you again
    And I can’t wait
    To lead a life that you’re not in
    And I won't break
    The limb they bend

    I can’t wait
    To never be with you again
    And I can’t wait
    To lead a life that you’re not in
    And I won't break
    The one they bend
    From time to time
    I can’t wait to never be with you again
    I can’t wait to never be with you again

    A.... F....

    Though I may bend* from time to time.

  36. E.... W....

    God, this is sad to listen to right now.... :(

  37. p.... p....

    We miss you Chris! So sorry you had to go through so much hell. We all know who you wrote this song for. Truth and Justice for Chris!

    p.... p....

    Who is this written about?

    p.... p....

    @maddyBOOMbaddy BADDY The song was written by Ryan Adams. The person who it was written about (Alledgedly of course) is Chris's 2nd wife.

    p.... p....

    @pixelated pixie You knew this? Chris said this to you in person?

    p.... p....

    @Sabin S Obviously you have eyes that can see words. Do you not have the ears to hear Chris's words as well? Do your own research. If you should choose to speak of what you learn, let your words take flight. Here's your Platform.

    p.... p....

    How you know that Ryan Adams wrote this song? In "Higher Truth" album it is said that all songs are written by Chris Cornell, and I didn't found any information about Ryan Adams writing it. Anyway, if Ryan really wrote it, then its rather obvious that its about his wife Mandy Moore, which he divorced in 2016 and announce the end or relationship in beginning of 2015.

  38. c.... ....

    i cant listen to this song with out crying😭😭😭

  39. T.... W....

    Going through a divorce and this song is my soundtrack. For some reason it makes the process easier knowing that Chris Cornell has put what i feel into words and music.

    T.... W....

    It was for me as well.

  40. D.... C....

    Chris, Love and miss you everyday!

  41. B.... H....

    Beautiful song. Thanks for all the memories man, you will never know it but you got me through some pretty hard times. Thank you, we miss you.

  42. M.... K....

    I wont break the one that bends

    M.... K....

    ❤ beautiful

    M.... K....

    I won't break, though I may bend.

  43. R.... M....

    record companies wanted something stupid people would like... i am sorry that they were not worthy of you.... we will not forget you or your cryptic messages of profound wisdom.

  44. J.... B....

    I was listening to the Higher Truth Album and this and a couple others are now blocked.The words of the ones blocked sound like they are about his wife.She is evil

  45. j.... c....

    Indie??

  46. Y.... L....

    Good desicion Chris ... could not wait less...love you... i love this endless music...

  47. �.... G....

    Gyönyörű!

  48. C.... P....

    Hermosa canción.El otto dia me dijerón que tambien era un tema muy revelador....se dicen tantas cosas y al leer sus letras de verdad te quedas pensando...qué o quién fué lo que lo mató....

  49. t.... ....

    I realize that almost all of his songs was sad and desparate like suiside..but there was also some hope..

  50. L.... B....

    I hope to be with u Chris

  51. S.... B....

    Love this album <3

  52. N.... G....

    This song has to be about being in a relationship with a narcisssist.

    N.... G....

    You are 100 percent right! My mother and husband are such sick narcissists, I have to take the mirrors down when they come into a room. Vicky was obviously a malignant narc. and he wanted to get the fuck away from her! They are completely impossible to live with-even demonic in the way that they act.

    N.... G....

    @anne comeaux exactly!!

    N.... G....

    Damn sure is!

  53. T.... W....

    I want to post this regarding my wife, but might wait. Great song. Needed to be put out there.

  54. T.... N....

    cried so hard when I read the news last year.still touches me deep

  55. K.... L....

    Chris Cornell University of California might be the answer to our Prayers, his Music & lyrics help me to move on everday! Thank God for you! 🌷

  56. T.... A....

    SIEMPRE ESTARÁS PRESENTE CHRIS!

  57. K.... L....

    Chris Cornell might very well been our second coming of Yawa-Jesus Chist, and he died from being humble and 💓 hurting, 4 we all should have loved him so much more!😢 😢 😢 💕💕💕Kathy 💓

  58. K.... L....

    Chris Frazier - Long time, hope you are happy! 💓💕💇🙏😢 This song and Chris Cornell are Simply Perfection! WOW 💕

  59. V.... J....

    One year ago today...The standout track on an outstanding final album, musically and lyrically this absolute gem of a song is for me the one that echoes the loudest across the last 365 days

  60. D.... G....

    I can relate to this so much.😐

  61. J.... H....

    I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it;s today.

    J.... H....

    The girl that's driving me mad is goin away

  62. w.... I....

    Never forget your beautiful voice and beautiful soul, Chris....Thank you for posting this song, TannerCKG ✌💝🍀🌹

  63. S.... D....

    This song reminds me of my narcissist ex wife. Every word of it. Wonder who the Murderer is in Chris's song? R.I.P Chris Cornell..

    S.... D....

    @Dionna L. Lambright Yea. Well Ickey Vickey, he wrote about her for a decade, the narcissistic Psychopath. Then of course James Franco told her about how to get him back on drugs that didn't work. Chris and Chester were both going to name names of the top pedophile ring, David Geffen and Diana Jenkins being two of them. Chris felt that it was his duty to name these names.There is so much more involved, I want Chris and Chester to have what they wanted, for them and their children's sake.

    S.... D....

    Steven Delaney Same with me and my narcissist ex husband

    S.... D....

    @Angela Clark Chris wrote a decade of songs about Vickey. She among others murdered him.

    S.... D....

    Dawn Cantagallo Outrageous thievery beyond words...🖤icky has no shame! Can only imagine what’s going on with unreleased SoundGarden trax. Sure she wants to keep them from the band& try to sell them as Chris’ solo material. Just MORE$$forhersorry@$$(imho) “#NOMOREBULLSHIT”when?
    R I P CC💔 ✌️&🙏

  64. K.... D....

    So fucking beautiful!

  65. C.... ....

    Chris is an Angel full of Talent & Beauty. God Bless Your Sweet Heart and Soul. R.I.P.

  66. G.... S....

    wonderful song and amazing voice.... :(

  67. R.... M....

    I want to see you

  68. C.... A....

    Christ Cornell savior and redeemer of lost souls

  69. g.... g....

    Damn he hates this chic

    g.... g....

    That's not what I got from the song. To me he can't wait for all the BS thar comes with the end of a significant relationship to be done so he can put it away, meaning not have to deal with it daily anymore. He seems past the anger and just wants it to be done.

  70. �.... G....

    Óriási ez a dal is, káprázatos.

  71. �.... G....

    Gyönyörű, zseniális. 2.21-nél a zenekar fantasztikus!

  72. B.... M....

    Still breaking my heart 9 months later 💔

    B.... M....

    My heart is still broken and always will be.

    B.... M....

    Still broken 3 yrs later

  73. T.... t....

    I can't wait

  74. t.... ....

    8 months. Chris we miss you.

    "No one sings like you anymore"

    "The truth will set you free"

    "Fell on black days"

    "Try to leave a light on when I'm gone"

    All of us will see you on the other side Chris. Hope you are rocking up there with your buddies.

  75. B.... Q....

    Miss this dude. Puts a pain in my stomach and relieves it all at the same time. He had a gift. Miss you Chris.

  76. R.... A....

    Chris cornell helped me see beauty in the little things and he helped me through the hard times. RIP mr cornell

  77. T.... M....

    February lost one of my closest friends, his demons took him, every day was a hard day for him, now he is at rest, no more pain.. my heart breaks.

    May, lost my favorite singer/writer/musician/humanitarian, one of the people I have admired most for decades Chris Cornell, my heart breaks.

    July, lost my Dad, my best friend, my rock, my night and day, sun and moon', my heart breaks.

    September, lost my brother in law, the kindest sweetest soul, a person who had fought to overcome his demons and he was successful only to pass after the long battle, my heart breaks

    It's been the worst year of my life, I miss these people so much that my heart actually hurts..pain is excutiating!! somedays are unbearable.. but today Im ok because I am listening to Chris's beautiful voice and I will always have his words to help me get through, his voice brings me comfort, somedays I'm headbanging to Soundgarden and blasting the volume way up!, some days Im dancing to Audioslave, some days I just sing at the top of my lungs to CC solo collection.. but every day he is there and I am so grateful... some nights I put on my headphones and Chris sings me to sleep.. I am grateful

    T.... M....

    Tina Marie F so terribly sorry for all of your pain& heartbreak! Hopefully Chris’ beautiful gifts, his voice& music will help you heal....✌️Peace&Prayers🙏

    T.... M....

    TaraCornett1 what a beautiful response to those of us hurting! I totally agree!i!
    Thank you✌️🙏

    T.... M....

    Please mend my tears.

  78. R.... S....

    IMO these lyrics were some of Chris' best. So dark, yet so beautiful.

  79. N.... C....

    dedicate to a lot of men where i live,the brutals,the laughings unmoving,the unlonely always bothering and waiting.

  80. I.... F....

    I "nearly forgot my broken heart"over Layne Staley...and now Chris,my teenage and life long heroes!

  81. T.... M....

    Another beautiful song by Chris Cornell.... my God what a huge void he has left...I am shattered

    T.... M....

    i feel the same.... isn't it strange to feel that way about someone you never met?

  82. T.... E....

    Ruined now he's gone

  83. R.... L....

    I hope that soon 'The Truth Will Set You Free' amazing n truly beautiful, just like you!!! RIP Chris 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

  84. A.... T....

    some might say you die twice to which I agree. the first time is your last heartbeat and the second is the last time someone speaks your name. that being said I don't think chris cornell will ever die again. if you could relate to his lyrics when he was in human form just because hes gone doesn't mean his lyrics aren't still relatable. he will be here for you forever . lots of love guys ,a fan of chris is a friend of mine. g'day.

    A.... T....

    Aidan T Burke <3 <3 <3 Thank you for the love, Chris Cornell - always in my heart!

    A.... T....

    right you are..... words from serj ring true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5VlXf3X2HI

    A.... T....

    Gee - you made me cry. Bugger!

  85. M.... d....

    never he did or sang or tell without a significance. a Genius, simple and complex authentic always. Solar even when bluesy or dark or playing very hard rocking in his music. A wonderful unique gift from Lord. As many others told and felt, no one could imagine we could miss him as it is, as never happened for no one else, as the most loved brother, even cry. you disclose a world we all have inside. Never possible forget. Ciao, Chris

  86. T.... P....

    Quite possibly the finest song I've heard in all my years. RIP Chris. A shame it took your passing to bring this wonderful song to me.

  87. E.... M....

    This is an album for the ages, I was looking forward to more of the same, not to be. I hope he and Buckley, legends, are ripping it up there and showing those angels how it's done. Imagine the joy, our loss is their gain, I'm green. I will miss him as I have Jeff, man, my stupid heart is broken.....

  88. A.... N....

    My God I can't get enough of this song or his voice!

  89. I.... A....

    Chris's music has helped me through some difficult times just from listening I feel like a friend of the man who I'd never met his songs were very personal to me in some parts of my life I have no doubt I would have not got through if not for the music of Cornell ,Vedder, Shannon hoon ,maynard , shinedown, but of them all chris was number one on my list

  90. m.... f....

    I wish I had the balls to say fuck it I'm out like Chris money and fame don't mean shit

    m.... f....

    Me too. "Stand up strong and brave, when you really wanna lay down and dieeee"

  91. M.... ....

    OMG. Breaks my heart. I finally know what this song means. 😓

    M.... ....

    Chris didn’t write this song Ryan Adams did so It probably had nothing to do with him he just liked the song

    M.... ....

    Keith Kramer It obviously resonated with him. He recorded it for a reason, as to what, only he knows. He has said music speaks for him, and often a journal of his life.

    M.... ....

    @superunknown70 I always think Worried Moon is for Susan. She was his "Moonchild". I think he had a lot of regrets in the end.

    M.... ....

    @Keith Kramer what are you talking about? This is Chris Cornell's song. He wrote it.

    M.... ....

    Keith Kramer dude, Chris is the only credited songwriter on this song and he even talked about the song with Cameron Crowe on video. It’s not Ryan Adams song.

  92. B.... L....

    "I can't wait"....to listen you.. Goodbye big Chris

  93. A.... ....

    My blue sky was murdered the day you decided to leave the earthly realm. Chris Cornell, you will be missed. Rest in peace. :(

    A.... ....

    He didnt leave this world.someone and friends took him from this world. Read! check it out.he was singing his demise to us. No suicide, a murderer of blue skys.. skys are beautiful.

    A.... ....

    A.Birdie true

    A.... ....

    I think that if anything, he's talking about those that forced him into retirement. Check out the official music video starring Eric Roberts, called: "I Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart", where he clearly fakes his death and escapes {if it's still up, it may have been taken down, except for the one in reverse}.

    A.... ....

    putt1-2-putz it’s taken a piece of my soul not being able to do anything about it bro....

  94. N.... B....

    Amazing Artist who is deeply missed! RIP Chris- prayers for the healing in your family & friends hearts

  95. M.... W....

    You will live on with all the great music you created for us. Thank you.

  96. T.... ....

    R.I.P. Chris
