Falling Slowly

If you have not seen the film Once, please do. It was made in Dublin on a wing and prayer succeeding beyond all expectations in 2007. Falling Slowly won an Oscar as best song. All the songs are good, but the lyrics for Falling Slowly below are special.
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
Song by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
