an astonishing song by one of the greatest and most important women in rock, Sheryl Crow. the song is track #13 from her second album, "Sheryl Crow" (1996).
--Ordinary Morning--
I left a man
Asleep in the nude
name in my pocket
With lipstick and rouge
Everything I ever wanted,
What a lovely pie you baked,
Is anybody listening
How the painted bird never flies away
It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
Slipping away
The walls have been talking
About me again
I'm good for a joke, but when I awoke
The dream didn't end
Now everytime I turn around
I'm always thinking, John, is anybody out there?
And the wounded birds still sing
It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
Slipping away
