A Cannon Regina Spektor

[Verse 1]
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...
