Ordinary Man - Midge Ure

Strange incisions deep inside

Conversations I can’t hide

When we talked

What once written in the sand

Slipped forever through my hand

Turned to dust upon the land

Where I walked

All out of time

Turn and rewind

Weighing my mind

Love slipped on by

Night after night

Fighting for time

Kiss it goodbye

These last precious moments

For this ordinary man

Drowning in sympathy

It’s my final gift for me

It’s wearing thin

Something more than just a will to live

Something more for this man to give

Than just give in

All out of time

Time to rewind

Weighing my mind

Love slipped on by

Night after night

Fighting for time

Kiss it goodbye

These last precious moments

For this ordinary man

These last precious moments

For this ordinary man

One last touch slipped away

Here and then

The sun

Gone

Gone

Gone

Gone

Gone

All out of time

Time to rewind

Weighing my mind

Love slipped on by

Night after night

Fighting for time

Kiss it goodbye

These last precious moments

For this ordinary man

These last precious moments

For this ordinary man
