Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova - "Falling Slowly", from the OST of "Once". Just a f-ing brilliant song from a f-ing brilliant movie - I can't believe I chose this movie from the hotel TV movie listings, only to provide company to my silence. Must watch!

My days are breathless with silence.
Sunlight takes a richer hue
As our little earth hurtles
Towards its long winter nights.

Your notes arrive; one in many days.
There is no hurry now for
Another summer is turning in its Bed of windblown leaves.

When the bear sleeps under its
Bare blanket of snowy earth,
On pages as pearly as the bark
Of birches, I will write you, Dear

Stranger, few words in coal black.
