Intro: I couldn't really understand at all The writing on the wall From you to me A jigsaw puzzle of a twisted tale That set it's lonely sail From you to me 'Cos I tried to get the message But it's not understood Wide apart and so far away It mattered at the start until I realized instead I'm floating in a troubled sky Watching you as you go by In an ordinary dream I'm sailing on a troubled sea Watching you as you watch me In an ordinary dream I couldn't understand a word it said The letter that I read From you to me I couldn't fathom out the stuff you wrote So I guess it's just a joke From you to me Though reality keeps calling me away from my dream And the wreakage isn't all it might have been Didn't matter at the start until I realized it did I'm floating in a troubled sky Watching you as you go by In an ordinary dream I'm sailing on a troubled sea Watching you as you watch me In an ordinary dream I'm floating in a troubled sky Watching you as you go by In an ordinary dream I'm sailing on a troubled sea Watching you as you watch me In an ordinary dream Ordinary dream
