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 is happening to it all? crazy some would say
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 vaccuum of my heart
What is happening to me? crazy some will 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 grief
Fear today forgot tomorrow
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Just blown away

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
Every world is my world
(i will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
(i will learn to survive)
Any world is my world,
Every world is our world,
Every world
