Cannonball Lyrics - Stephen Stills

I don't know what was wrong 

But I wasn't as strong 

I've seen daisies hold cannonballs above them 

But if this was a dream 

I still know that I've seen 

Fields of daisies hold cannonballs above them

I'm so far from perfect 

You still loved me when I so far from deserved it 

If I'm so brave why does looking you in the eye take every ounce of my courage? 

I hang my face to the linoleum and count the freckles on the floor 

All of us, all of us are a galaxy of tiny little storms 

The good and evil in me wage a bloody civil war 

The missiles whistle through me then the rebel pistols roar 

I shiver and the final slivers of my chivalry retreat my shriveled core 

I can't imagine the I'll ever be happy like before 

Before, before 

We're sitting in a field in Golden Gate Park off Fulton and 4th 

And I've never felt less alone 

Just a block from the home I've outgrown 

Five feet and forty years to the right from where dad proposed 

An inch above this casserole of stones, grass and mud, rusty needles, lost guitar picks, Indian tombs, and dinosaur bones 

Everything happened all at once 

And the world is spinning like a hubcap, and not just because of the drugs 

We hugged and laid there in each others' arms all night 

Even when the sprinklers cried on us we didn't mind 

We had the rest of our lives to be dry 

So we stayed until the edges of the sky turned light 

I would have stay until our hair turned white 

The mosquitoes arrived to feast on time 

Got drunk at our expense, we didn't mind 

We let them bite, we kept on kissing and obliged 

Say "bottoms up, you've only got til Tuesday so enjoy the ride!" 

And I couldn't imagine that I would ever be unhappy again 

And I whispered in your ear that this moment is already a poem 

That I just figured out my first tattoo was going to be of bug bites 

Decided I'd commemorate their bloody drink by printing three circles on my ankle, perfect and pink in permanent ink 

The beautiful wounds that will keep me, you and this moment forever linked 

To remind me when I fail myself, when I fail everyone around me 

When I misfire and come tearing through your walls 

When the cocktail of humiliation and pain poisons my veins 

And this carnival of carnage, this mansion of garbage, this parking lot of carcasses, this heartbreak party drains the spirit that remains 

That I have been a part of something worthwhile 

To remind me of the pleasure your pulse 

The measure of your breath 

The rise and fall of our fortunes and our chests 

These spectacular triumphs and flops 

That even if that moment meant nothing to the universe, it's the closest thing to God I've got 

I'm so far from perfect 

So far it's been worth it
