Ordinary Man

from Instant Pleasure by Seth Swirsky

/

lyrics

Now I’m standing in my garden
With my blue watering can
And I’m feeling undistracted
I’m just an ordinary man

Used to wanna be so famous
That was all part of the plan
Now I like the simple pleasures
Of an ordinary man

And I’ve traded in my cellphone
For a book of poetry
And I read it to my lover
As she’s lying next to me

Now I’m gazing at the ocean
My feet buried in the sand
Happy in the path I’ve chosen
Of an ordinary man

And I’m doing my self portrait
With a periwinkle crayon
And the picture that’s emerging
Is of an ordinary, not extraordinary
Just an ordinary man
