Lyrics for Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

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
