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'll 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'll 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 the same old cannonball

Coming back for your heart again Bright lights like white lightning

Who shot me down, who'll 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
