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 me?
|
Crazy, some'd say
|
Where is the llife that I recognize?
|
(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 runaway
|
Left me in the vacum of my heart
|
|
What is happening to me?
|
Crazy some'd 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
|
|
(just gone away)
|
|
Ooh hoo..
|
|
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering
|
and grief
|
Here today forgot tomorrow
|
Ooh, Here besides the news of holy war
|
and holy need
|
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
|
|
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
|
|
Every world is my world
|
(I will learn to survive)
|
Any world is my world
|
(I will learn to survive)
|
Any world is my world, every world is our
|
world, ever world...
