Cannonball lyrics
There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little harder to say... what's going on
There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
And stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

he falls in love too easily but does not want to scare her away from doing so. his songs are truly amazing but i think his songs mean different things to different people. they capture your heart and your inner feelings what ever mood you are in. his older album O is certainly the best! i love it!

Too stunning! Can't get it here in South Africa but my boyfriend got the album when he was last in London. Cannonball is the most accurate description of what it feels like to fall in love...
An amazing artist!

tragically beautiful is a how I feel these lyrics...heard it at a time when it was as if the song was speaking from the very core of ME...so raw,excellent musical arrangement. Thank you for writing it. I go to another space when I listen to your music...love Older Chests so much. I get a lump in my throat every single time I hear it. Very profound...no words to describe the intensity of your work.
