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 are saying
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
Passions 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'd 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
Through the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Ooh, ooh
No, oh, ohh
Ooh, ooh
No, oh, ohh
No, oh, ohh
Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and grieve
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Hmm, 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, oh
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Ooh, ooh
It's my world
Any one, ooh
I will learn to survive
