Cannonball Lyrics by Merry Ellen Kirk

2019

[Verse 1]
I'm trying to find
A lover that was kind
Back in dark and restless times
My soul is as brittle as the bark
That's been weathered and scarred by history
I know my word ain't worth a good god damn
I'm just a grain of sand stuck in your boot
[Chorus]
Oh baby won't you meet me in the pines
Down by the river where our old love died
Oh darling can you hear my call
Floatin' through the breeze like a cannonball
[Verse 2]
My heart let out a trumpet sound
The love that we found fell apart
You were born in the pouring rain
I was a hurricane
I'd wreck it all
So I resign to live in black and white
A cruel kind of light that harbors shadow
That harbors shadow
[Chorus]
Oh baby won't you meet me in the pines
Down by the river where our old love died
Oh darling can you hear my call
Floatin' through the breeze like a cannonball
