My Father's Eyes Lyric | Eric Clapton |  |  | CLAPTON CHRONICLES |  |
| | | | |
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.
{Toerag is a British slang term
for a worthless person, by analogy with the strips of cloth that vagrants
wear in place of socks.}
