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
