Falling Slowly Lyrics

"Falling Slowly" is the Oscar Award-winning song from the Irish film Once.

The song was written and performed by Glen Hansard of The Frames and Marketa Irglova.

Different versions of the song appeared on The Frames album The Cost and Hansard and Irglova's The Swell Season. As a result, the song's eligibility for the Best Original Song Oscar was momentarily thrown into question shortly following its nomination.

  • 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
