Ordinary Dream

Electric Light Orchestra · Zoom [2001]

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
