Ordinary Sadness letra

So she opens windows wide
Tries to catch the light
Her house just grows a little darker
No place to hide anywhere in sight
Tries rearranging household things
Hopes this will bring some change
And uncover traces of her life
Before the emptiness arrives

She moves things around with a sigh
Like pawns in a game that can save her from questioning why
Then leaves that room
And lets another day go by

It's just an ordinary sadness
That grips her from within
There's no pure and simple reason
For the darkness rolling in
Just an ordinary sadness
Preying on her mind
Reminding her of something left behind
It's just an ordinary life

She spends her days sifting through old photos she's found
And places them like giant milestones
Along the road to where she feels her life is bound
She gathers in the joys she owns
She spreads them all around
Hopes they will trigger laughter
Breathing in, breathing out some other life

Like the sigh in the wind in the trees
Just before rain and flooding her eyes
Those foolish tears
She weeps for all the years gone by

It's just an ordinary sadness
That grips her from within
There's no pure and simple reason
For the darkness rolling in
Just an ordinary sadness
Preying on her mind
Reminding her of something left behind
It's just an ordinary life

Where did it all get off and leave her
To a world she had not planned
Drifting out of reach and far from land

Just an ordinary sadness
Preying on her mind
Reminding her of something left behind
It's just an ordinary sadness
Grips her from within
There's no pure and simple reason
For the darkness rolling in
Just an ordinary sadness
Preying on her mind
Reminding her of something left behind
It's just an ordinary life
