The morning wears a veil of rain
Above the city I live in
Traffic's edging forward again
But no one knows where they're going

Could it be the sign of our affairs I'm seeing?
'Cause we'll still be here
When weather turns and blue skies reappear
When you're crestfallen,
Well you climb Mount Desolation yet again
And you find we're all just ordinary men.

Find some comfort in the bar
And hear the news from my brother
He tore his happiness apart
And says his heart won't recover

Is this just a sign of our affairs I'm seeing?
'Cause we'll still be here
When weather turns and blue skies reappear
When you're crestfallen,
Well you climb Mount Desolation yet again
And you find we're all just ordinary men.
