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 has happened to it all

Crazy someone say

Where is the life 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 prides gone out the window

Cross the rooftops

Run away

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me

Crazy someone 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 blown away

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed

Fear today

Forgot tomorrow

Besides the news of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

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

Any world is my world

I will learn to survive

Any world is my world
