Common Sense 03:48
lyrics

Common sense was never the answer... Common sense was never the answer... The blinding truth was you were no human, But an angel in disguise, Flying above the highest mountain, I tried to get to you... oh... How did I lose your sight in a flash? Common sense was never the answer... Common sense was never the answer... oh no Please tell me you don't have to go again, I never wanted to go... oh no, You tried to tell me over a thousand times... That common sense was never the answer... oh no, Common sense was never the answer... oh no, Common sense was never the answer... oh no!

Passenger In Disguise 04:56
lyrics

And casual was his middle name Destined never to surprise you And just like the train he road, He was just, A passenger in disguise Didn't you hear him say Board the train with me And just like the snow in May The coldness will slowly melt away Into the darkness of the night... And take your time, But there's only one seat left for you Don't be afraid if he comes your way, Because he's not like everybody else Oh no, he was just A passenger in disguise Didn't you hear him say Board the train with me And just like the snow in May The coldness will slowly melt away Into the darkness of the night... Board the train dear girl Don't let it get away from you Because it's a one way trip to paradise and beyond, your wildest dreams... And so it seems there's no one else to go along Girl please...Won't you be, The one to board this train with me please? Didn't you hear him say Board the train with me please? And just like the snow in May The coldness will slowly melt away Into the darkness of the night... Board the train dear girl Don't let it get away from you Because it's a one way trip to paradise and beyond your wildest dreams, There was something more to see that night...

And I was lost I... couldn't find the words To describe what the frost had done to me... Ohh... And these were the words you said "I was lost with you"... It takes me back to a place that I called home But your eyes said it all And I know things will change, But I had to say... I trust you And so the sun came to Break the ice, Like a beacon light The truth was in sight, For all to see How did you not know, You were the sun's beam Ohh... And these were the words you said "I was lost with you"... It takes me back to a place that I called home But your eyes said it all And I know things will change, But I had to say... I trust you And is better, To stay in suspense? Or try finding common ground I don't know, I don't know... So tell me know, tell me the truth Was that really you? Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooow... Was that, really you... who said those words? It takes me back to a place that I called home But your eyes said it all And I know things will change, But I had to say... I love you.
