Glen Hansard Falling Slowly lyrics

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

And 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 have a choice
You've made it known

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
The moods 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 won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it known

Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

I paid the cost too late
Now you're gone
