Damien Rice: The Blower's Daughter ('Closer' soundtrack)

I can't stop listening to this song; it's one of those songs that just moves me, touches me in that deep recess of my heart that I hide from everyone, including myself most of the time. One of those songs that makes you want to cry, not just because you feel sad, but happy and sad at the same time. One of those songs that draws life and emotion out in a long line and makes you feel overwhelmed by the enormity of it. I know most people won't get that from this song, and probably think this sounds exagerrated, but that's what it does to me, and that's how it makes me feel.

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time

And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most...of the time

And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody else
