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 will 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 you friends are never gone
 If you look to the sky and pray
 Bright lights like white lightning
 Who shot me down
 Who will 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 will 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
