Cannonball

I was born when I met you

Now, I'm dying to forget you

And that is what I know

Though I dreamed I would fall

Like a wounded cannonball

Sinking down with my heart in tow

Bright lights like white lightning

Who shot me down?

Who cut me down?

I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around

How I'm lost, how I'm found

There's a man all alone

Telling me his friends are gone

That they've died and flown away

So, I told him he was wrong

That your friends are never gone

If you look to the sky and pray

Bright lights like white lightning

Who shot me down?

Who cut me down?

I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around

How I'm lost, how I'm found

Someone told me a lie

Someone looked me in the eye

And said, "Time will ease your pain"

But behold, when you fall

It's that same old cannonball

Coming back for your heart again

Bright lights like white lightning

Who shot me down?

Who cut me down?

I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around

And it may come around

Until the day comes around

How I'm lost, how I'm found

I was born when I met you

Now, I'm dying to forget you

And that is what I know
