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
(Chorus)
Someone told me a lie
Someone looked me in the eye
and said time will ease your pain
But behold, when you fall
its 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
Till 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
