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
