Silje Nergaard - Ordinary sadness lyrics

So she opens windows wide Tries to catch the light Her house just grows a little darker No place to hide anywhere in sight Tries rearranging household things Hopes this will bring some change And uncover traces of her life Before the emptiness arrives She moves things around with a sigh Like pawns in a game that can save her from questioning why Then leaves the room and lets another day go by Its just an ordinary sadness That grips her from within Theres no pure and simple reason For the darkness rolling in Its just an ordinary sadness Preying on her mind Reminding her of something left behind Its just an ordinary life She spends her days sifting through Old photos shes found And places them like giant milestones Along the road to where she feels her life is bound She gathers in the joys she owns And she spreads them all around Hopes they will trigger laughter Breathing in .breathing out some other life Like the sighing of wind in the trees just before rain And flooding her eye Those foolish tears she weeps for all the years gone by Its just an ordinary sadness That grips her from within Theres no pure and simple reason For the darkness rolling in Its just an ordinary sadness Preying on her mind Reminding her of something left behind Its just an ordinary life Where did it all get up and leave her To a world she had not planned Drifting out of reach and far from land Its just an ordinary sadness That grips her from within Theres no pure and simple reason For the darkness rolling in Its just an ordinary sadness Preying on her mind Reminding her of something left behind Its just an ordinary life
