Any Other Day
Lyrics by Jerry Joseph

I can hear the traffic, baby

People with a place to go

Any other day, any other day

I could have direction also

I can hear cathedral choirs

I can hear the Easter bells

Any other day, any other day

You could be my prophet, baby

But I woke up late this morning

Black coffee and cigarettes

I really ought to take it easy

I’m not ready to ascend just yet

I can see the lovers strolling

Up and down the boulevard

Any other day, any other day

I would surely join them, baby

I can hear your heart beat calling

Calling from around the world

Any other day, any other day

I would be your husband, baby

But you know I’m hardly faithful

Difficult and self-absorbed

As much as I adore you, baby

I’m not willing to hurt you more

I know I had a chance at love for life

And I may die having let it passed me by

Me by, me by

I can see the children baby

Making up and breaking rules

Any other day, any other day

I could be a child just like them

Finally the sun is shining

Smiling when I think of you

Any other day, any other day

You would be my one and only

I never been accused of brilliance

I never learned from my mistakes

I never seem to get the message

Always somebody’s heart that breaks

But I woke up late this morning

Black coffee and cigarettes

I really ought to get more sleep

I’m not ready to ascend just yet

I know I had a chance at love for life

And I may die having let it passed me by

Hey baby, pass me by

And I can hear the traffic baby

People with a place to go

Any other day, any other day

I could have direction also
