On the shores of our green doorstep
Past the waves of crabgrass growing
And the spray of new buds blowing
There's been something about the weather
In the air the talk is April
Where the blue light birds are singing
Like a chorus line of small bells ringing
High in the trees above
All the sounds are like a silence
And the breeze is an ocean's roar
And the cliffs are rolling fences
To the lamppost outside the door
All the streets are like explorers
And the city's a starry dome
From this porch where we were married, darling
In our ordinary home
Now the dog's asleep and dreaming
In a land of clouds and pillows
And a sleepy weeping willow
Pines away for the evening flowers
Through the window by the picture
You can see the moon careening
Through the sky of hope and meaning darling
In our ordinary home
I don't know about tomorrow
Or the miles before I sleep
All we have are clothes to borrow
And there's nothing that we may keep
Say your prayers for your brothers
Say your prayers for everyone
We belong to one another, darling
Under the golden sun
Now there's gold on the horizon
And the clouds are embers glowing
Petty soon the full moon will be showing
Over the skies of Eden
There's a candle in the window
Like a thousand stars of evening burning
Suddenly your whole life's turning
In our ordinary home
It's a rainbow world we live in
And the colors a waterfall
These are blessed days we're given
It's a wonder we're here at all
Am I still the one you married
When the world was a morning dove
Is it not too ordinary darling
Here with the one I love
Is it not too much to carry, darling
In our ordinary home
