An Ordinary Day Lyrics by Maura O’Connell

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for my husband
With my cheek against the glass
Counting tips and killing time
And getting nowhere fast
Well, he's fifteen minutes late again
And sorry's all he'll say
As the sun sets on an ordinary day
[Verse 2]
See them school kids at the counter
Well, they haven't got a clue
Why if I were seventeen again
I know just what I'd do
Well I'd rob the rich and feed the poor
And watch my children play
As the sun sets on an ordinary day
[Bridge]
Well the world just keeps on spinnin'
Turnin' minutes into years
Turnin' dreamers into fools
Turnin' wishes into fears
But wishin' never changed a thing
And cryin' nevеr will
They're just drops of water
On a window sill
[Verse 3]
Wеll, I'm the queen of eggs and bacon
With coffee on my sleeve
And I'd be glad to take your order, sir
But I'm afraid I've got to leave
You see, my chariot is waiting
It's going to carry me away
Let the sun set on an ordinary day
[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for my husband
With my cheek against the glass
Counting tips and killing time
And getting nowhere fast
Well, he's fifteen minutes late again
And sorry's all he'll say
As the sun sets on an ordinary day
[Outro]
Ordinary day
Ordinary day
