Ordinary Dance

歌詞

Come up to the house and ring the bell Beware the second step is rotted through And all across the lawn the fallen leaves Behind the door the shuffling of feet A face appears between the parted blinds Just haunted by the heaviness of time And click the lock and slowly creak the door And nobody remembers anymore Nobody remembers anymore, it's just another story that never got told And ordinary dance across an ordinary floor Nobody remembers anymore Inside the house the air it doesn't move A TV set recycling the news And pictures on the table by the stairs Just gathering the dust of passing years And everything is changing in this town The supermarket aisles are bright and loud And telephones and complicated wars And nobody remembers anymore And oh, oh my god, I wanted to do something great And oh, but I loved, and I guess that'll do anyway And all the kids are grown and gone away You know times were tough but they turned out ok They come to visit once or twice a year They clean the gutter, fix the broken stair And who will ever know the time is right And the lucky ones they just turn out the light Close their eyes and let their breathing slow And nobody remembers anymore
