A Cannon Lyrics & Tabs by Regina Spektor
A Cannon
guitar chords lyrics
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 transgression, I've given
You love and I've given you anger as well, and I
Meant them bo-o-oth
I always knew it was coming this way, it was coming this way
I always knew a big boat would come, and
Take me away, take me away
I stirred in my bed, then I slipped on my dress
Then I ran through the halls like a ghost
And in case someone heard me, I grabbed up a dagger
I stirred in my bed, then I slipped on 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 use unless
Bare feet on a cobblestone street, then a beach
Then a splash in my ankles, my knees, then my thighs
And my eyes open wide, I threw myself right into the sea-ea-ea
And 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, then no one
Understands me at a-a-all
They think I'm saying hello and goodbye, and hello and goodbye
What I'm really saying is...
They think I'm saying hello and goodbye, and hello and goodbye, and hello and...
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
