the common cold

you gave me a thrill

lighting a fire in my soul

now

i feel a chill deep inside

for you took back the warmth of your love

and left me cold

and as i remember

the last burning ember

i just can't believe it has died

my arms are shaking for you they are aching to hold

i can't endure it please come back and cure this common cold

while wrapped up in dreams i live with you in warm memories

lost in a tiny capsule of time

and then i feel the sun waking me up

and making me freeze

as time slowly passes

alone in the ashes

without you to clear up my mind

my arms are shaking for you they are aching to hold

i can't endure it please come back and cure this common cold

and as i remember

the last burning ember

i just can't believe it has died

my arms are shaking for you they are aching to hold

i can't endure it please come back and cure this common cold
