Original Cast of Ordinary Days
Life Story
[WARREN]
This is a photograph I found on the street, oh, a year ago
A wrinkled old photograph of a guy and a girl on the beach
He’s got her hand in his hand and all seems well
I think they’re both smiling; it’s hard to tell
There’s a crease and a tear
Masking secrets of their
Life story

This is an unopened Valentine I found one September
I left it unopened, afraid it would lose its mystique
See, there’s a heart on the front, drawn in faded ink
You can’t read the name, but it made me think
Are these people aware
They've lost pieces of their
Life story?

I was walking tonight, like I usually walk
Through those benches outside Union Square
When all of a sudden I tripped over something
And look:
It was this little book

This book is different from most things I’ve found for one reason
Yes, it looks old, but there’s proof someone dropped this today
You’ll notice, the cover is missing, the font, antique
The pages are yellowed, but what’s unique
Are the notes in the margins in ballpoint, I’d guess
And here’s today’s date and an email address
A life story
A life story
A life story
