Eric Clapton - Pilgrim (1998) by Eric Clapton (보컬) on maniadb.com

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.

It's three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.

It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.

Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.

In three more days, I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.

I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain,
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.

Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?

Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.

And how do I choose and where do I draw the line　　
Between truth and necessary pain?　　
And how do I know and where do I get my belief　　
That things will be all right again?　　
What words do I use to try and explain　　
To those who have witnessed all my tears?　　
And what does it mean to know all these things　　
When love's been wasted all these years,　　
When love's been wasted all these years.　　

Standing in the shadows　　
With my heart right in my hand,　　
Removed from other people　　
Who could never understand.　　
I was a pilgrim for your love,　　
A pilgrim for your love,　　
A pilgrim for your love,　　
I was a pilgrim for your love.　　

It's like living in a nightmare,　　
Like looking in the blackest hole,　　
Like standing on the edge of nothing,　　
Completly out of control.　　
Now where have I been all these years　　
And how come I just couldn't see?　　
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,　　
I was a pilgrim for your love,　　
I was a pilgrim for your love.　　

Standing in the shadows　　
With my heart right in my hand,　　
Removed from other people　　
Who could never understand.　　

I was a pilgrim for your love.　　
A pilgrim for your love.　　
I was a pilgrim.　
Pilgrim for your love.

When the wind blows down this hard,
Many a bond is broken.
See the water lie on the ground
From where the heavens opened.

Lord, how will you get through this night
With your dreams departed?
And who alone will comfort you?
Only the broken hearted.

So you've gone beyond your means,
Every wound is open,
Your best laid plans are out of reach,
And all your fears unspoken.

Chorus

Sweet revenge is spoken then;
In the twilight it is gone.
To living lies with no escape,
Lord, I would rather be alone.

I press my fingers to the wood
To tell you of my dreaming,
To sing you songs from olden times,
To keep the love light gleaming.

'Cause there's a place where we can go,
Where we will not be parted.
And who alone will enter there?
Only the broken hearted.

Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.

Without wishing to cause you any pain,
I got to push on through, babe,
And if I take the chance of seeing you again,
I just don't know what I would do, baby.

And sometimes I think I'm gonna be just fine;
All I got to do is go through it, babe.
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind,
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe.

You had one chance and you blew it.
You may never get another chance.
You had the floor and you knew it.
You can't blame it on your circumstance.

At the risk of causing you a little pain,
I'm going to have to forget you, babe,
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
And you'd the same again if I let you, babe.

I would give anything to hold you in my arms,
But you know I can't do that, baby.
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it.

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.

And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.

And it's sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round.
And it's sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
'Cause the circus left town.

Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line.

Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
And when I smile I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.

Chorus

Chorus

The circus left town, left town.
The circus left town, left town.

I have had my fun
If I don't get well no more
I have had my fun
Never get well no more
You know my helpless failing
Lords, I'm goin' down slow

Please write to my mama
And tell her the shape I'm in
Please write to my mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
To forgive me for my sins

On the next train south
Look for my clothes back home
On the next train south
Look for my clothes back home
You know my helpless failing
Lords, I'm goin' down slow

Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tore me all to pieces, cut me half in two.
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?
Tore me all to pieces, nothing else remains.
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?

Worry, worry,worry,
Worry all day long.
Don't know where I'm going;
Don't know right from wrong.

Tell me why,
Tell me why.
Tell me why,
Tell me why.

Fall like rain, .........

In the stardust of a pale moonlight　
I think of you in black and white　
when we were made of dreams　

I walked alone through old shady streets　
Listening to my heart beat　
In the record breaking heat　
And we're holding tight　

Just when I thought you were gone You came back　
Just when I was ready to receive you　
You were smooth you were rough　
You were born and then off　
Oh baby why did I ever believe you　
I believe you　
　　
In the rising curse　　　
And the wings of nature will test our dream bird　
I took you close and I felt the reason　
And we were born in time　

Just when I knew who to find you went back　
Just as the fire light was gleaming　
You were snow you were rain　
You were strife and you were pain　
Oh baby Can it be you been scheming　
Or was I dreaming　　

in the wings of mystery　
In the foggy weather destiny　　
You're still so deep inside of me　
And we were born in time

I'm gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
And teach him how to call my name.
I'm gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
And teach him how to call my name.
Then I won't have to miss you baby
And I won't have you driving me insane.

I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.

You had me walking 'round in circles, baby,
I didn't know which way to go. Oh Yeh,

I'm so sick and tired of you baby,
I'm sick and tired of the way you carry on.
Lord, I'm sick and tired, baby,
Sick and tired of the way you carry on.
You can pack up all of your things, baby,
Hit the road, get out of here, be gone.
Now I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the door.
I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the bedroom door.
I may have to blow your brains out, baby,
Then you won't bother me no more, no more

You left him standing in the pouring rain.
There's every chance he'll go insane.
He must have love, can't you understand
that He needs his woman,
He needs his woman,
And he needs his woman,
He needs his woman to love.

His hands are shaking and his head hangs down.
No peace of mind for him is found.
Break his heart and then you'll set him free.
Someone must save him, just you wait and see,

but
*What will it take till you believe his love is real?
Nobody said he had to love you,
now he always will.

He'll walk that lonely road again today.
The love he gave you, you threw away.
When all he wanted was a hand to hold.
His lonely world has grown so cold

and
*Repeat (x2)

In the middle of the night　
in the middle of the day.　
She can make me feel alright　
and make it all o.k.　

She can make me feel so good　
by looking in my eye.　
She can take me to the edge　
take me to the sky.　

She's gone, she's gone, she's gone　
I'm telling you she's gone　

She puts her hand in my hand　
puts her kiss on my face.　
She puts my heart in my mouth　
a soul in its place.　

Who can love me like she do　
who can even start to try.　
She can love me more than you　
I never wonder why.　

Chorus　

Like a shadow in the dark　
like a ripple on a stream　
I see you float across my mind　
like a picture in a dream.　

the more that I'm alone　
seems the more that I care.　
Get the worries is all I know　
just to know that she's still there.　

Like a shadow in the dark　
like a ripple in a stream　
but you're floating on my mind.　

Chorus

We made the distance,　
yeah we made the day.
You made all the difference,　
you found a way

Without your wisdom,　
lord where would we be?　　
Lost in the wilderness,
somewhere out at sea

You were there through the days of wine and madness,　
when I always put you down
You were there, through my joys and my sadness　
and you never let me down.

You found a meaning　
and helped me to see　
where I was going to,　
all that I could be

Without permission　
you turned the key,
you climbed the prison wall　
deep inside of me

You were there through the days of wine and madness　
when I turned and put you down
You were there through my joys and my sadness　
and you never let me down

You were there, through the days of wine and madness　
when I turned and put you down
You were there through my joys and my sadness　
and you never let me down,
let me down

They've poisoned the water
There's a chill in the air
A vive in the darkness
But there's nobody there

I look for the reason
But there's nothing to see
Just a hole in my memory
Where my mind used to be

Tell me why　
Can I find no relief in my heart?
I reside in the world that is falling a part

<**Back vocals>
Out of mind Baby　
show me a sing Baby　
show me a way　
To get back on time please
Where do we go baby　
How will I know　
who holds the key　
Is it here inside of me

<*EC sing>
Tell me why　
And where do we go from here

But why should I worry
And why do I care
When this road that I walk on
Is going now here　　　　
I stand and I study　
Every face in the crowd
See the fear in their eyes
I must be thinking out loud

Tell me why
Can I find no relief in my heart?
I reside in the world that is falling in a part

**　
Tell me why　
And where do we go
And where do we go from here

Scorching the surface
It all looks the same　
A world full of anger
With no one to blame
But who can I turn to
Who holds the key　
And who has the answer
If it's inside of me

Tell me why　
Can I find no relief in my heart?
I reside to a world that is fall in a part

**
And where do we go from here
And where do we go　
Tell me why

　

All things considered it looks as though
Utopia were far closer to us than anyone,
only fifteen years ago, could have imagined.　
Then, I projected it six hundred years into the future.　
Today it seems quite possible that the
horror may be upon us within a single century.　
That is, if we refrain from blowing ourselves
to smithereens in the interval. Indeed, unless we
choose to decentralize and to use applied science,
not as the end to which human beings are to be made the means,
but as the means to producing a race of free individuals,
we have only two alternatives to choose from:
either a number of national ...
