Ordinary World

Kurt Nilsen

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 me?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is the llife 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 runaway

Left me in the vacum of my heart



What is happening to me?

Crazy some'd 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



(just gone away)



Ooh hoo..



Papers in the roadside tell of suffering

and grief

Here today forgot tomorrow

Ooh, Here besides the news of holy war

and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk



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



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, ever world...
