T Bone Burnett - Cannonball lyrics

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
