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

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'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
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive


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
I will learn to survive


Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one

Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world

Every one
Is my world
