Daniel Lanois Still Learning How To Crawl Lyrics

Still Learning How To Crawl Lyrics

I looked at you, your lips were moving

But I did not hear what you said

You wanted me, you wanted my name

I was carrying two feet of lead



See the rising sun on this make-believe town

White shoe shine and leather, both of us so brown

I was in the water, you were dry

You yelled my name, now I know why



I'm still learning how to crawl

I'm still learning how to crawl



If that big drum, drum is rumbling

Keep me in line, keep me from stumbling

When I first went down, everything was right

Skinny white leg laying on my bed



Over there running, afraid to be found out

Tasting everything with a scream and shout

All I wanted I rejected

Drinking from a cup of [Incomprehensible]



I'm learning how to crawl

I'm still learning how to crawl



He ain't comin' in 'til you lay the table

He ain't comin' in, not comin' to watch me fall

The killer moves in, moves right into your face

When everything seems to be in its right place



Can't wait for love, love to be king

Can't wait for the love to come with its sting

You blew away in your blue dress

I lost the one that I loved best



I'm still learning how to crawl

I'm just learning how to crawl



I'm still learning how to crawl

I'm just learning how to crawl
