Regina Spektor - A Cannon lyrics

Your rating:

A cannon was fired by the light of the moon
I'm waiting, the boat should be here very soon
And I mind less and less all the silly pictures that hang round' my room, for now

I write you a letter, I hope you feel better
I hope you forgive the transgressions I've given you love
And I've given you anger as well and I meant them both

I always knew it was coming this way, was coming this way
I always knew a big boat would come and take me away, take me away

I stood on my bed then I slipped in my dress
Then I ran through the halls like a ghost and in case someone heard me
I grabbed the big dagger that I'd never use, unless

Bare feet on the cobblestones street,
Then a beach, then a splash, then my ankles, my knees,
Then my thighs and my eyes open-wide, I threw myself right into the sea

And I could see it was coming my way, was coming my way
I always knew a big boat would come and take 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 times
Somebody's got to tell all the people to be like the water
Somebody's got to tell all the people to be like the water

I would if I could, but I can't so I don't
My heart breaks too easy, my words get all jumbled
And when I wear lipstick, then no-one understands me at all

They think I'm saying hello and goodbye, hello and goodbye
What I'm really saying is
(Whispering)
They think I'm saying hello and goodbye, hello and goodbye and hello
What I'm really saying is,
(Whispering)

I've woken up once and I've woken twice
And I've woken up millions and millions of times.
