Still Learning How To Crawl Lyrics - Singles - Daniel Lanois

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 (?) 

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
