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?
Where is the life that I recognize?
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
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
Where is my friend when I need you most?
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
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, 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
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
