Lyrics
Ordinary Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I couldn't really understand at all
The writing on the wall
From you to me
A jigsaw puzzle of a twisted tale
That set its lonely sail
From you to me
'Cause I tried to get the message
But it's not understood
Wide apart and so far away
It mattered at the start until I realized instead ....
I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
I couldn't understand a word it said
The letter that I read
From you to me
I couldn't fathom out the stuff you wrote
So I guess it's just a joke
From you to me
Though reality keeps calling me away from my dream
And the wreakage isn't all it might have been
Didn't matter at the start until I realized it did
I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
Ordinary dream
Ordinary dream
