My Father's Eyes (Acoustic; Live at MTV Unplugged, Bray Film Studios, Windsor, England, UK, 1/16/1992; Take 1) - Eric Clapton (艾力克·克萊普頓)

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 arrive

How will I know him

When I look in 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 learn

The words to say

How do I teach him

What do we play

Bit by bit

I've realized

That's when I need him

That's when I need my father's eyes

Were you really so far away

Were you really so far away

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 recognized

He was here with me

I looked into my father's eyes

As my soul

Slides down to die

How could I lose him

What did I try

If I did

I've recognized

He was here with me

I looked into my father's eyes

Thank you
