Fall At Your Feet
Neil Finn
I’m really close tonight
And I feel like I’m moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I’m beginning to know her
Let it go
I’ll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You’re hiding from me now
There’s something in the way that you’re talking
Words don’t sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go, I’ll be waiting when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I’m more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall
Whenever I fall

“Fall At Your Feet was written in Osborne St [Finn family residence in Melbourne], or the chorus was. It had a different verse that went, ‘Fly away little bird, fly as fast as you can, don’t get in the way of this approaching man because he’s insane...’”
“It was a convoluted one, that one. We knew the chorus was really strong. We were lacking a good verse for it, and I happened to be jamming one day with the band in the studio and we were playing an old piece of mine, which became the verse of that song. Mitchell Froom jumped on it and said, ‘That’s it,’ and I finished the lyrics on the spot and we had it within about two hours. It had a good energy about it.”
