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
