Ordinary World Songtext

von 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 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 runaway
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
(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
Here today forgot tomorrow
Ooh, Here beside the news of holy war
And holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
(just blown away)

But I won't cry...

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
