My Little Ruin Lyrics


Come on my little ruin,
Won't you open up and let me in
Well time has not been kind,
But you're still standing here.Leave a light on in your window,
Won't you let me see a sign.
It's gonna take more than smoking mirrors
Now for me this time.Come on our Mr.Sorrow,
Won't you sing yourself a different song
The melody that made you is now worn out,
Sing along.Well everybody is looking at you,
But I can't stand to watch.
I've seen this scene come and go too much.And Oh,
How you struggle,
Through the hours.
With your sorrow leading the way.
And as you're stooping,
Among the cowards,
You will let them win.

But I'm not gonna stand aside,
And watch them tear you up,
No I'm not.
Because you're better than the hour
And I can't say it enough.
It's enough.
What are you doing?Come on my little ruin,
Wont you build yourself back up again.
Won't you take the time you were given,
You promised it to yourself.You can stand among the best of them,
If you could hold your own.
But no one's gonna do it for you now,
But you and you alone.And Oh,
How you struggle,
With your powers.
And keep your backside to the wall.
And, as you're counted,
Among the cowards,
Didn't see you at all.
But i'm caught,
On a rising wave and I can't get you up
But I'm not,
Gonna stand aside,
And watch them tear you up,
No I'm not.
Because you're better than the hour
You're better than the hour,
You're better than the hour,
You're better than the hour,
You're better than the hour,
And I can't say it enough,
It's enough.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?

Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. He released The Swell Season, his first solo album, on April 21st 2006, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová, Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Glen recently starred in the movie 'Once' alongside Markéta Irglová which won a prestigious Sundance Audience Award in 2007, as well as the 2008 Academy Award for Best Originial Song (for "Falling Slowly"), beating out three songs from the Disney musical "Enchanted" and one song from "August Rush" (both were heavy contenders). Its Irish release took place on 23rd March 2007 and appeared in cinemas further afield later in the year.

Glen's latest album, Rhythm and Repose, was released in June 2012.
