Thread Name: Vocalizations of 'Falling Slowly'
Subject: ADD: Falling Slowly (from 'Once')
Thanks for picking up on that, Jeri. I saw the "Falling Slowly" lyrics from Once in the other thread, and so I assumed that other thread was about the same song. Since those lyrics are seriously incorrect and because I think we should have lyrics for the song posted, I'll put them here. -Joe Offer-


FALLING SLOWLY
(Glen Hansard, 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
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 had the 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
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 the choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
