A cannon was fired by the light of the moonI'm waiting, the
boat should be here very soonAnd I mind less and less all the
silly pictures that hang round my room, for nowI write you a
letterI hope you feel betterI hope you forgive the
transgretionsI've given you loveAnd i've given you
anger as wellAnd I meant them bothI always knew it was coming
this wayWas coming this wayI always knew a big boat would come
and take me awayTake me awayI stood on my bedThen I slipped in
my dressThen I ran through the hallsLike a ghostAnd in case
someone heard meI grabbed the big dagger that I'd never
useUnlessBarefeet on the cobblestones streetThen a peachThen a
splashThen my anklesMy kneesThen my thighsAnd my eyes open-wideI
threw myself right into the seaAnd I could see it was coming my
wayWas coming my wayI always knew a big boat would come and take
me awayTake me awayTake me awayI've woken up onceAnd
i've twiceAnd i've woken up millions and millions of
timesSomebody's got to tell all the people to be like the
waterSomebody's got to tell all the people to be like the
waterI would if I couldBut I can't so I don'tMy heart
breaks too easyMy words get all jumbledAnd when I wear
lipstickThen no-one understands me at allThey think I'm
saying hello and goodbyeHello and goodbyeWhat I'm really
saying is(whispering)They think I'm saying hello and
goodbyeHello and goodbye and helloWhat I'm really saying
is(whispering)I've woken up onceAnd i've woken
twiceAnd i've woken up millions and millions of times
