Almost (Sweet Music) Lyrics by Hozier

[Hozier]

I came in from the outside, burned out from a joyride

She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway

Plagued from the bedside, Stella by starlight

There was my heart, the drums that start off night and day

[Hozier]

The same kind of music haunts her bedroom

I’m almost me again, she’s almost you

[Hozier]

And I wouldn’t know where to start

Sweet music playin’ in the dark

Be still my foolish heart

Don’t ruin this on me

I wouldn’t know where to start

Sweet music playin’ in the dark

Be still my foolish heart

Don’t ruin this on me

[Hozier]

Tell me who, and I’d be thanking ’em

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’s smoke rings from this paper doll

Blow sweet and thick ’til every thought of it don’t mean a thing

[Hozier]

I got some color back, she thinks so, too

I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

[Hozier]

I wouldn’t know where to start

Sweet music playin’ in the dark

Be still my foolish heart

Don’t ruin this on me

I wouldn’t know where to start

Sweet music playin’ in the dark

Be still my foolish heart

Don’t ruin this on me

[Hozier]

I wouldn’t know where

I wouldn’t know where

I wouldn’t know where, I wouldn’t know where

I wouldn’t

I wouldn’t know where

I wouldn’t know where

I wouldn’t know where, I wouldn’t know where

I wouldn’t know

[Hozier]

The very thought of you in midnight 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?’

[Hozier]

And, Lord, I wouldn’t know where to start

Sweet music playin’ in the dark

Be still my foolish heart

Don’t ruin this on me

I wouldn’t know where to start (I wouldn’t know where)

Sweet music playin’ 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 (I wouldn’t know where)

Sweet music playin’ 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 (I wouldn’t know where)

Sweet music playin’ in the dark (I wouldn’t know where)

Be still my foolish heart

Don’t ruin this on me
