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 "The pride will tear us both apart" Pride gone out the window Cross the rooftops, gone 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
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed Fear today, forgot tomorrow Here 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
