Faster Than a Cannonball

Verse 1

The rain had a long conversation with the roof

I listened through the ceiling and the walls came loose

The postman left his bicycle in the garden shed

His letters turned to rivers swimming over my head

Pre-Chorus

Now the clouds are packing up their overnight bags

The sun is tapping windows like a drummer with a grin

And everything is starting to remember how it feels

To let the morning in

Chorus

Faster than a cannonball the sky turns blue

The puddles are holding mirrors up to you

Shake off the grey and let the warmth come through

The sun came back and it's calling out your name

Oh the sun came back and it's calling out your name

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

The milkman's horse is wearing sunglasses now

The telephone wires are humming some forgotten row

The jigsaw of the pavement has a brand new shine

Every little crack is telling me I'm fine

Pre-Chorus

The daisies are performing cartwheels down the lane

The church bells are juggling a tune I can't explain

And somewhere in the distance a paper boat sets sail

Carrying the thunder in a tin pail

Chorus

Faster than a cannonball the sky turns blue

The puddles are holding mirrors up to you

Shake off the grey and let the warmth come through

The sun came back and it's calling out your name

Oh the sun came back and it's calling out your name

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bridge

The weather had its tantrum and the weather went away

The umbrella is retiring to a happier display

The kettle's singing ballads and the garden's doing flips

I'm standing on a sunbeam with a whistle on my lips

Chorus

Faster than a cannonball the sky turns blue

The puddles are holding mirrors up to you

Shake off the grey and let the warmth come through

The sun came back and it's calling out your name

Oh the sun came back and it's calling out your name

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh
