Ordinary Life - Beth Hirsch

Suddenly the sun is on

And turned up high

When you don’t expect it

Heat’s the best surprise

While our clothes are hanging on

For dear life, hanging out to dry out

Waiting to be used

Another day

Time for lunch

Time to set the table

Take a chair

Take the one you like

I wouldn’t have to climb

The bar isn’t so high

I wouldn’t have to guess

The trouble on your mind

I’d hum against the wind

And often at your side

An ordinary «we»

An ordinary life

Even if you wanted to

You couldn’t leave

Neighbors in your skin

Sifted through the lease

Pretty soon we’ll be set to buy

We turned that round

We’ll have you round

Go on bring your kids and dress it up

Holding on-holding up to grown-ups

Making due

Making due for now

They wouldn’t have to climb

Ordinary «them»

Safe & sound

Even in the hard times

If I’m wrong

Least I had the right

chorus

An ordinary «me»

…That's life…
