Came in from a rainy Thursday on the Avenue
Thought I heard you talkin’ 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 sayin’
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 happenin’ to me
Crazy some would 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
Here beside the news of holy way 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
Everyone is my world
Everyone is my world
