My Father's Eyes
|
by Eric Clapton
|
Sailing down behind the sun,
|
Waiting for my prince to come.
|
Praying for the healing rain
|
To restore my soul again.
|
|
Just a toerag on the run.
|
How did I get here?
|
What have I done?
|
When will all my hopes arise?
|
How will I know him?
|
When I look in my father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
|
When I look in my father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
|
|
Then the light begins to shine
|
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
|
And as I watch this seedling grow,
|
Feel my heart start to overflow.
|
|
Where do I find the words to say?
|
How do I teach him?
|
What do we play?
|
Bit by bit, I've realized
|
That's when I need them,
|
That's when I need my father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
|
That's when I need my father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
|
|
Then the jagged edge appears
|
Through the distant clouds of tears.
|
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
|
My foundations were made of clay.
|
|
As my soul slides down to die.
|
How could I lose him?
|
What did I try?
|
Bit by bit, I've realized
|
That he was here with me;
|
I looked into my father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
|
I looked into my father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
|
|
My father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
|
I looked into my father's eyes.
|
My father's eyes.
