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'd say,
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...
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Now pride's gone out the window
Cross the [bad word] 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?

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.
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
