A cannon

by Regina Spektor

lyricscopy.com
A cannon was fired by the light of the moon and
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 mean them both

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

I stood in 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 up a dagger that I´d never used, unless

Bare feet on the cobblestone 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

Then I could see it was coming my way
It 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,
No one understands me at all

They think I´m saying hello and goodbye and hello and goodbye
But what I´m really saying is
They think I´m saying hello and goodbye and hello and goodbye and hello
But what I´m really saying is

I´ve woken up once
And I´ve woken up twice
And I´ve woken up millions and millions of times
