Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some will say

Where is the life that I recognize?

It's gone away

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Passion or coincidence

Once prompted you to say

That pride will tear us both apart

[Verse 5]

Pride's gone out the window

'Cross the rooftop, gone away

And left me in the vacuum of my heart

[Verse 6]

Ooh, what has happened to me?

Crazy, some will say

But where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

Papers in the roadside tell us suffering and greed

Here today, forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here beside the news of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

Everyone

Is my world

Everyone

Is my world
