Lyrics Daniel Lanois

Daniel Lanois

Falling At Your Feet

Every chip from every cup

Every promise given up

Every reason that's not enough

Is falling, falling at your feet

Every band elastic limit

Every race when there's nothing in it

Every winner that's lost a ticket

Is falling, falling at your feet

I've come crawling, falling at your feet

Everyone who needs a friend

Every life that has no end

Every knee not ready to bend

Is falling, falling at your feet

I've come crawling, now I'm falling at your feet

All fall down (All the manic dazed faces that you pull)

All fall down (All the action is not under your control)

All fall down (The graffiti rolling down off of your tongue)

All fall down (And the compromise you make for some)

Every teenager with acne

Every face that's spoiled by beauty

Every adult tamed by duty

They're all falling at your feet

Every foot in every face

Every cop's stop who finds the grace

Every prisioner in the maze

Every hand that needs an ace

Is falling, falling at your feet

I've come crawling, and I'm falling at your feet

(All fall down) All the books you never read

(All fall down) Just started

(All fall down) All the meals you rushed

(All fall down) Never tasted

Every eye closed by a bruise

Every player who just can't lose

Every pop star howling abuse

Every drunk back on the booze

All falling at your feet

Oh I'm falling at your feet

(All fall down) All the information

(All fall down) All the big ideas

(All fall down) All the radio waves

(All fall down) Electronic seas

(All fall down) How to navigate

(All fall down) How to simply be

(All fall down) To know when to wait

(All fall down) This plain simplicity

(All fall down) In whom shall I trust

(All fall down) How might I be still

(All fall down) Teach me to surrender

(All fall down) Not my will, thy will
