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 canât 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 wonât cry
for yesterday
Thereâs 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 prideâs gone
out the window
âcross 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 wonât cry
for yesterday
Thereâs 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
But I wonât cry
for yesterday
Thereâs 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
I will learn to survive
I will learn to survive
