Cannonball Songtext
von Brandi Carlile

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 ′til 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 ′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
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 'til 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
