Text: Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová. Falling Slowly.

I don't know you

but I want you

all the more for that

words fall through me

and always fool me

and I can't react



games that never amount

to more than they're meant

will play themselves out



take this sinking boat

and point it home

we've still got time

raise your hopeful voice

you had the choice

you've made it now



falling slowly

eyes that know me

and I can't go back

wounds that take me

and erase me

and I'm painted black



well you have suffered enough

and warred with yourself

it's time that you've won



take this sinking boat

and point it home

we've still got time

raise your hopeful voice

you had the choice

you've made it now



take this sinking boat

and point it home

we've still got time

raise your hopeful voice

you had the choice

you've made it now



falling slowly

sing your melody

I'll sing it loud

loud
