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 but still I can't escape the ghost of you
  What is happening to me crazy some would say
  Where is the life that I recognize, gone 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
    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 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 beside the news of holy war and holy need
  Our's 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
