One after another, the cannonballs came
Now it's all going under, and only wreckage remains
And if feels like I will drown
There hasn't been time to grieve yet, clinging to this debris
Still it's hard to believe it, that this is happening to me
And it feels like I will drown
One thing is certain, one thing is clear
As the storm starts to worsen, and I'm drowning in fear
There will be no rebuilding - it's gone baby, gone
And I don't know how much longer
I'll be holding on
There's no island to swim to, (and anyway) my legs feel like lead
Still I'm praying for rescue, for planes flying overhead
And it feels like I will drown
One thing is certain, only one thing is clear
As the storm starts to worsen, and I'm drowning in fear
There will be no rebuilding - it's gone baby, gone
And if no one comes to save me
I'll never see the dawn
Am I alone in this
Ocean of loneliness?
Is anyone looking for me?
'Cause my strength is failing
And I've no breath left for praying
And I will sink like a stone to the deep
One after another, the cannonballs came . . .
One thing is certain, only one thing is clear
As the storm starts to worsen, and I'm drowning in fear
There will be no rebuilding - it's gone baby, gone
And I'm surrendering to the current
That's pulling me along
