[ LYRICS ] falling slowly



Glen Hansard (of The Frames) & Marketa Irglova perform "Falling Slowly" live in Chicago. " The song is featured in the film "Once." The film, starring Hansard and Irglova and directed by John Carney, won the World Cinema Audience Award for Dramatic Film at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and is currently enjoying a successful worldwide release.


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'll make it now

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 won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
