i fear that i am ordinary
just like everyone
to lie here and die
among the sorrows
adrift among the days
for everything i ever said
and everything i've ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have their end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am hopelessly adorned
my life has been extraordinary
blessed and cursed and won
time heals but i'm forever broken
by and by the way
did you ever hear the one
aoub the clown
who laughed behind his tears
he was sure that he
was doomed behind a mask
despite his fears
he knew that he was all right
and in my mind as i was floating
far above the clouds
some children laughed i'd fall for certain
for thinking that i'd last forever
but i knew exactly where i was
and i knew the meaning of it all
and i knew the distance to the sun
and i knew the secrets in your spires
and i knew the solitude of heart
and i knew the harbours in your cold
and i knew the grace of dignity
and i knew the echo that is love
and i knew the rapture of a rose
and i knew the murmurs of the soul
and i knew my smile was every smile
and i knew the silence of the world

i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone
to lie here and die among the sorrows
adrift among the days
for everything i ever said
and everything i've ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
my life has been extraordinary
blessed and cursed and won
time heals but i'm forever broken
by and by the way...
have you ever heard the words
i'm singing in these song?
it's for the girl i've loved all along
can a taste of love be so wrong
as all things must surely have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
and in my mind as i was floating
far above the clouds
some children laughed i'd fall for certain
for thinking that i'd last forever
but i knew exactly where i was
and i knew the meaning of it all
and i knew the the distance to the sun
and i knew the echo that is love
and i knew the secrets in your spires
and i knew the emptiness of youth
and i knew the solitude of heart
and i knew the murmurs of the soul
and the world is drawn into your hands
and the world is etched upon your heart
and the world so hard to understand
is the world you can't live without
and i knew the silence of the world
