Falling Slowly

The Swell Season · Once (Music from the Motion Picture) [2007]

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

Oh



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 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

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 now



Falling slowly

Sing your melody

I'll sing along

Oh

La da da da

Oh



But you're gone

I paid the cost too late

Now you're gone
