I was born when I met you   now I'm dyin' to forget you   and that is what I know.      Though I dreamed I would fall   like a wounded cannonball   sinkin' downwith my heart in-tow.      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 met dead?   Who cut me dead?   I'm frozen in my bed   til 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 the same old cannonball   comin' back for your heart again.      Bright lights, like white lightning   Who shot met dead?   Who cut me dead?   I'm frozen in my bed   til the day comes around   And it may come around      til the day comes around   How I'm lost, How I'm found.      I was born when I met you   now I'm dyin' to forget you   and that is what I know.
