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      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      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
