[Verse 1]
I looked at your face, I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time
I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
Couldn't care less about the lies
You couldn't find the time to cry

[Pre-Chorus]
We forgot about love
We forgot about faith
We forgot about trust
We forgot about us

[Chorus]
Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven
Where it began
Back in God's hands

[Verse 2]
You said that you had said all that you had to say
You said, "Baby, it's the end of the day."
We gave a lot, but it wasn't enough
We got so tired that we just gave up

[Chorus]
Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven
Where it began
Back in God's hands
Back in God's hands

[Bridge]
We didn't respect it
We went and neglected it
We didn't deserve it
But I never expected this

[Chorus]
Our love floated out the window
Our love floated out the back door
Our love floated up in the sky to heaven
It's part of a plan
It's back in God's hands
Back in God's hands

[Outro]
Oh, it didn't last
It's a thing of the past
No, we didn't understand
Oh, just what we had
Oh, I want it back
Just what we had
I want it back
Oh, just what we had
No, we didn't understand

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
