Almost (Sweet Music) Songtext
von Hozier

I came in from the outside
Burned out from a joy ride
She likes to roll here in my
Ashes anyway

Play it from the bedside
Is "Stella By Starlight"
There was my heart, the drums that start off
Night and day

The same kind of music
Haunts her bedroom
I′m almost me again
She's almost you

I wouldn′t know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me


I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don′t ruin this on me

Tell me who, and I′d be thanking them
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek
As soft as Chet can sing?

Let's get lost and let the good times roll
Let smoke rings from this paper doll
Blow sweet and thick ′til every thought of it
Don't mean a thing

I got some colour back
She thinks so, too
I laugh like me again
She laughs like you

I wouldn′t know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me


I wouldn′t know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where
I wouldn′t know where
I wouldn′t know where, I wouldn't know where
I wouldn′t, mmm

I wouldn't know where
I wouldn′t know where
I wouldn't know where, I wouldn′t know where
I wouldn't know

The very thought of you, and am I blue?
A love supreme, seems far removed
I get along without you very well
Some other nights

Lord, the radio newsreader chimes
Reporting Russian lullabies
She'll turn to me, awake and ask
"Is everything alright?" And, Lord

I wouldn′t know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark (in the)
Be still, my foolish heart
Don′t ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where to start (know where)
Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn′t know where)
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn′t know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where, oh yeah)
Be still, my foolish heart (I wouldn′t know where)
Don't ruin this on me

I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn′t know where, yeah)
Be still, my foolish heart (I wouldn′t know where)
Don't ruin this on me
