Lyrics:

So she opens windows wide
Tries to catch the light
Her house just grows a little darker
No place to hide anywhere in sight

Tries rearranging household things
Hopes this will bring some change
And uncover traces of her life
Before the emptiness arrives
She moves things around with a sigh
Like pawns in a game that can save her from questioning why
Then leaves the room and lets another day go by

Its just an ordinary sadness
That grips her from within
Theres no pure and simple reason
For the darkness rolling in
Its just an ordinary sadness
Preying on her mind
Reminding her of something left behind
Its just an ordinary life

She spends her days sifting through
Old photos shes found
And places them like giant milestones
Along the road to where she feels her life is bound

She gathers in the joys she owns
And she spreads them all around
Hopes they will trigger laughter
Breathing in .breathing out some other life
Like the sighing of wind in the trees just before rain
And flooding her eye
Those foolish tears she weeps for all the years gone by

Its just an ordinary sadness
That grips her from within
Theres no pure and simple reason
For the darkness rolling in
Its just an ordinary sadness
Preying on her mind
Reminding her of something left behind
Its just an ordinary life

Where did it all get up and leave her
To a world she had not planned
Drifting out of reach and far from land

Its just an ordinary sadness
That grips her from within
Theres no pure and simple reason
For the darkness rolling in
Its just an ordinary sadness
Preying on her mind
Reminding her of something left behind
Its just an ordinary life
