A Cannon
A cannon was fired by the light of the moon, I'mWaiting, the boat should be here very soonAnd I mind less and less all the sillyPictures that hang 'round my room, for now
I write you a letter, I hope you feel betterI hope you forgive the transgressions, I've givenYou love and I've given you anger as wellAnd I meant them both
I always knew it was coming this way, it was coming this wayI always knew a big boat would come andTake me away, take me away
I stirred in my bed, then I slipped on my dressThen I ran through the halls like a ghostAnd in case someone heard me, I grabbed up a daggerThat I'd never use- unless
Bare feet on a cobblestone street, then a beachThen a splash in my ankles, my knees, then my thighsAnd my eyes open wide, I threw myself right into the sea
And I could see it was coming my way, it was coming my wayI always knew a big boat would come andTake me away, take me away, take me away
I've woken up once,And I've woken up twice,And I've woken up millions and millions of timesSomebody's got to tell all the people to be like the waterSomebody's got to tell all the people to be like the water
I would if I could, but I can't so I don'tMy heart breaks too easy, my words get all jumbledAnd when I wear lipstick, then no oneUnderstands me at all
They think I'm saying hello and goodbye and hello and goodbyeWhat I'm really saying is:[whispering]They think I'm saying hello and goodbye and hello and goodbye and helloWhat I'm really saying is:[whispering]
I've woken up once,And I've woken up twice,And I've woken up millions and millions of times
