Falling Slowly...

I just heard this song again on World Cafe tonight. Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova "Falling Slowly." I think it's an amazing duet, great lyrics.

Here's the original video of "
Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once."

YouTube version, live in 2006.

It won a "
Best Original Song" Oscar!

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 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
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
