I can't wait forever is all that you said Before you stood up And you won't disappoint me I can do that myself But I'm glad that you've come Now if you don't mind
Leave, leave, And free yourself at the same time Leave, leave, I don't understand, you've already gone
I hope you feel better Now that it's out What took you so long And the truth has a habit Of falling outta your mouth Well now that it's come If you don't mind
Leave, leave, And please yourself at the same time Leave, leave, Let go of my hand You said what you have to now Leave, leave, Let go of my hand You said what you came to now Leave, leave, Leave, leave, Let go of my hand You said what you have to now Leave, leave...
Cut the bonds with the moon And let the dogs gather Burn the gauze in the spoon And suck the poison up And bleed
Shut the door to the moon And let the birds gather Play no more with the fool And let the souls wander And bleed From the soul
A slow hurt.. and it breaks us.. And so down, Down, down and so plain So down When you play some more it seems so And my friends are past this game Of breakdowns And our friends that are lost at sea.. Throw down And I'll break the wasted space Slow down, slow down, If you don't slow down, slow down If you don't slow down, slow..
Cut the bonds with the moon And watch the dogs gather
Are you really here or am I dreaming I can't tell dreams from truth For it's been so long since I have seen you I can hardly remember your face anymore When I get really lonely And the distance calls its only silence I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs
If you want me satisfy me If you want me satisfy me
Are you really sure that you believe me When others say I lie I wonder if you could ever despise me You know I really try To be a better one to satisfy You for you're everything to me And I do what you ask me If you let me be free
If you want me satisfy me If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me If you want me satisfy me
I'm scratching at the surface now And I'm trying hard to work it out So much has gone misunderstood This mystery only leads to doubt And I didn't understand When you reached out to take my hand And if you have something to say You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for Your chance to even up the score And as these shadows fall on me now I will somehow
Cause I'm picking up a message Lord And I'm closer than I've ever been before
So if you have something to say Say it to me now Say it to me now Say it to me now
And I love her so I wouldn't trade her for gold I'm walking on moon beams I was born with a silver spoon And I'm gonna be free I'm gonna be free I'm walking on moon beams And staring out to sea
And if a door close Then a road for home start building And tear your curtains down For sunlight is like gold
And you better be you And do what you can do When you're walking on moon beams Staring out to sea Cause if your skin was soil How long do you think before they start digging And if your life was gold how long would You think you'd stay livin'? Hey
Are you sleeping? Still dreaming? Still drifting off alone. I'm not leaving with this feeling So you'd better best be told And how in the world did you come To be such a lazy love?
It's so simple, and fitting The path that you are on We're not talking, there's no secrets There's just a note that you have gone And all that you've ever owned Is packed in the hall to go
And how am I supposed to live without you? A wrong word said in anger and you were gone
I'm not listening for signals It's all dust now on the shelf Are you still working? Still counting? Still buried in yourself? And how in the world did we come To have such an absent love?
And how am I supposed to live without you? A wrong word said in anger and you were gone And how am I supposed to live without anyone?
And how in the world did you come To be such a lazy love? And where did you go?
So If you ever want something You call, you call And I'll come running to fight And I'll be at your door And there's nothing worth running for
When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to change it When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to stop it
You see you're just like everyone When you share your falls All you want to do is run away And hide all by yourself When there's fall, there's fall There's nothing else
When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to change it When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point even talkin' When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to fight it When your mind, your mind
There's no point trying to change it When your
So If you ever want something Then you call, call Then I'll come running
Walking up the hill tonight when you have closed your eyes. I wish I didn't have to make All those mistakes and be wise. Please try to be patient And know that I'm still learning. I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning.
But where are you my angel now? Don't you see me crying? And I know that you can't do it all But you can't say I'm not trying. I'm on my knees in front of him But he doesn't seem to see me. With all his troubles on his mind He's looking right through me. And I'm letting myself down By satisfying you And I wish that you could see That I have my troubles too.
Looking at you sleeping I'm with the man I know. I'm sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow.
And I know that in the morning I'll have to let you go and you'll be just a man once I used to know. But for these past few days Someone I don't recognize. This isn't all my fault. When will you realize?
I went into the chandler's shop some candles for to buy, I looked around the chandler's shop but no one did I spy. I was disappointed and some angry words I said, Then I heard the sound of a (knock,knock,knock) up above my head. (2x)
Well I was slick and I was quick, and up the stairs I sped, And much to my surprise I found the chandler's wife in bed; And with her was another man of most gigantic size, And they were having a (knock,knock,knock) right before my eyes. (2x)
When the fun was over and done and the lady raised her head, She was quite surprised to find me standing by the bed. "If you will be discreet, my lad, if you would be so kind, I'll let you come up for some (knock,knock,knock) whenever you feel inclined." (2x)
So, many a day and many a night when the chandler wasn't home, To get myself some candles to the chandler's shop I'd roam. But nary a one she gave to me, but gave to me instead, A little bit more of the (knock,knock,knock) to light my way to bed. (2x)
So, all you married men take heed, if ever you come to town, If you must leave your woman alone, be sure to tie her down. Or, if you would be kind to her, just sit her on the floor, Mind give her so much of that (knock,knock,knock) she doesn't need any more. (2x)
Once is a musical based on the 2007 film of the same name by John Carney. Like the film, music and lyrics were by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, including the Academy Award-winning "Falling Slowly". The book for the musical was written by Enda Walsh. The musical premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop in 2011, before transferring to Broadway in 2012. The production received eleven 2012 Tony Award nominations, and won eight including Best Musical, Best Actor and Best Book.
The musical also won the 2012 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical and the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. It has since spawned a London production, with a North American Tour which started on 1 October 2013. In the musical, the cast also serves as the orchestra. A minimalist set is used, including a bar in center stage with chairs lining stage left and right. Exiting cast members simply step to the side of the stage and sit down. They serve as the orchestra from these chairs. The bar is used before the show and at intermission as a working bar for theater patrons.
