Cannonballs - Elsinore

If I came a-knocking at your door

I would stand up straight

And I would tap a friendly two or three

Remember what to say

And I run my words in my head

Write them on my hand

And I would smile a toothful grin at you

And be a truthful man

Oh, and can you settle me down?

Fill my holes with brick and mortar

Sew me seamless, just a scar of all the thing I have done wrong

Darling, won’t you hold me close, I’m cold tonight

I am shooting cannonballs into the night

All that I can do is hope I’ve aimed them right

And I’m sorry that my heart turned colours on you

If I broke a nervous sweat, darling could you tell?

Cause I have tossed a coin or two in the wishing well

That I might seem collected and calm, look you in the eye

And if my voice cracked, well you’d know why

Oh and can you settle me down

Put my pieces back in order

Knock me senseless, just a scar of all the things I have done wrong

Darling won’t you hold me close, I’m cold tonight

I am shooting cannonballs into the night

All that I can do is hope I’ve aimed them right

And I’m sorry that my heart turned colours on you

Darling won’t you hold me close, I’m cold tonight

I am shooting cannonballs into the night

All that I can do is hope I’ve aimed them right

And I’m sorry that my heart turned colours,

Sorry that I put that weight,

Sorry that I turned my back on you
