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...
