Lyrics

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 flying in the 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 flying in the 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 flying in the 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
