Songs

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

I stood 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 the cobblestone street, then a beach
Then a splash 'round 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
Then 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, 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
