John Wesley An Ordinary Man
How easily forgotten
how easily replaced
your loved ones become...
We are the wreckage strewn behind you
love's own casualties
from the battle that you won
You could not wait
to fly your flag
you could not wait
to raise the man in victory
I know you hate
to be mistaken
for the woman
of just an ordinary man...
To be the lover
of some ordinary man
I'm down on my knees
I'm crawling across the floor to you
I'm holding out my hand
God I do not understand
why I'm down on my knees
Now I'm troubled by your silence
I'm troubled that you no longer dare
to lay with me under the night stars
or walk unhindered on your own two legs
You could not wait
to lose your new freedom
You could not wait
to carry your new chains
I know you hate
to keep him waiting
so you'd better
drag yourself back to him again
Away from an ordinary man
I'm down on my knees
I'm crawling across the floor to you
I'm holding out my hand
God I do not understand
why I'm down on my knees
Down on my knees
I wanna feel alive
I wanna feel awake
I wanna feel anything and everything
to make these night stars go away
I wanna feel alive
I wanna feel awake
I wanna feel anything and everything
this world will let me taste
I wanna see you cry
I wanna see you break
I wanna see you crash into the walls
of your own infamy
Just an ordinary man
I wanna feel anything and
everything
I'm down on my knees
I'm crawling across the floor to you
I'm holding out my hand
God I do not understand
why I'm down on my knees
Down on my knees
Yes I'm down on my knees
I'm crawling across the floor to you
I'm holding out my hand
God I do not understand
why I'm down on my knees
Down on my knees
