Lyrics Ordinary Man - Midge Ure

Ordinary Man

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
