Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue

Thought  I heard you talking softly

I  turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio

Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What is happening to it all?

Crazy,  some say

Where  is the life that I recognise?

Gone away

But  I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To  the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence

Once prompted you to say

"Pride will tear us both apart."

Well, now pride's gone out the window

Cross the rooftops, run away;

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?

Crazy, some say

Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed

Feared today, forgot tomorrow

Here beside the news of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

Gone away

It's blown away

And I don't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Every world...

Is my world...

I will learn to survive

Every world...

Is my world...

I will learn to survive

Every world...

Is my world...

Every world...

Is my world...
