Kurt Nilsen Ordinary World Lyrics

Ordinary World Lyrics

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 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 vacuum of my heart



What is happening to me 

crazy some 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 

o-oh, Here 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…



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
