falling slowly

I don’t know you
But I watch 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 their meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat
And port it home
We’ve still got time

Raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice
You made it now

Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can’t go back

And moods that take me
And erase me
And I’m painted black

Well you have suffered enough
And ward with yourself
It’s time that you won

Take this sinking boat
And port it home
We’ve still got time

Raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice
You made it now

Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I’ll sing it loud
