Cannonball

I was born when I met you
now I'm dyin' to forget you
and that is what I know.

Though I dreamed I would fall
like a wounded cannonball
sinkin' downwith my heart in-tow.

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 met dead?
Who cut me dead?
I'm frozen in my bed
til 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 the same old cannonball
comin' back for your heart again.

Bright lights, like white lightning
Who shot met dead?
Who cut me dead?
I'm frozen in my bed
til the day comes around
And it may come around

til the day comes around
How I'm lost, How I'm found.

I was born when I met you
now I'm dyin' to forget you
and that is what I know.
