Glen Hansard
Falling Slowly (From ”Once”)
[GUY]
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
[GUY & GIRL]
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
[GUY]
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
[GUY & GIRL]
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You'll make it now
[GUY]
Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me
And erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you've won
[GUY & GIRL]
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing along
[GUY, spoken]
