"Ordinary Bummer" lyrics

"Ordinary Bummer"

Lovely games of yesterday
Have left me with my soul today
Felicity flies out the door
When people lose their warmth

That's a very ordinary bummer
I'll hold out for summer days
Stand and laugh and run
In a quiet movie of mine

I saw a girl with eyes like fire
I had to look away
She was swearing like a sailor
And demanding her own way

That was when i knew i had to love her
I opened up my sad old eyes
And let the feelings run
With a quiet beauty of mine

Maybe sometimes we do bad things
And then other times we do good
And sometimes from something very bad
Comes something very good
In a quiet year of mine
