Lyrics

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," some would 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 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 would 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, ahh, ooh)

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

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow... ooh
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(Everyone,.
If my world..
Everyone..

Any world..
Is my world..
Every world..
Is our world..
Anyone
