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 But still I can't escape the ghost of you What is happening to it all? Crazy some would say Where is the life that I recognize... gone away And 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 vaccuum of my heart What is happening to me crazy some will 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 Ooh, uh huh Just gone away Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and grief Fear today, forgot tomorrow Ooh here beside the news of holy war and holy need Our's is just a little sorrowed talk... just blown away And 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
