Perhaps best remembered for its inclusion in the 2004 motion picture Closer, “The Blower’s Daughter” is among Damien Rice’s most well-known songs.
The song is the first of two songs about the same characters, continuing with “Elephant” on the album 9.
[Verse 1: Damien Rice]
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
[Verse 2: Damien Rice]
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies
[Chorus: Damien Rice]
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
[Verse 3: Damien Rice]
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
[Verse 4: Damien Rice]
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
[Chorus: Damien Rice]
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 off of you
[Bridge: Lisa Hannigan]
Oh, did I say
That I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
[Chorus & Outro: Damien Rice]
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 off of you
My mind
My mind...
Till I find somebody new
