There's pictures of her mother on the wall and when she speaks, she don't look at me at all she likes to check the time now and then and i start whistling cannonballs again her old man sleeps till dark every day then she cleans and puts the ashtrays away i think that i could make her my friend but i've been whistling cannonballs again and as she pulls her skirt above her knees i'm thinking bad things always come in threes and so it finished right where it began and i went whistling cannonballs again fragile like a teacup in a storm sweet and tender like a nurse in uniform but every time i here a violin then i start whistling cannonballs again so she curled up like a cat in the chair with her fingers drawing circles in the air stared me down and said "lets not pretend that you weren't whistling cannonballs again and without a breath she made it pretty clear that i should close the door and disappear it's been so long i don't remember when i started whistling cannonballs again it's been so long i don't remember when we started whistling cannonballs again From Letras Mania
