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.
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.

And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.

I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

Ah yes, the cancel crowd is here. 20 years from now you will read your comments and cringe :) Enjoy!
The guy is anti-vax because the vax almost killed him. And it has killed many.
Is that too hard for you people to grasp?

The racist comments, the maudlin religious subtexts, the sellout mediocrity, wife abuser, anti-mask, anti-vax...
"But he's an awesome guitarist, man." Meh. f@!#$ Eric Clapton.

A very solid 2. No 'Clapton is God' to be found on this sedative.
this racist doesn't deserve to be played on the station

Big fat yawn
I thought this was Steve Winwood when I first heard it. Really great tune.

Well, a 5 from me, just can't bring myself to score Eric lower. Boring melody, uninteresting lyrics, no virtuoso guitar, no arrangement... all from an artist who'e gotten nines and tens from me
Virtuoso? You mean snob?

Someone rated this 1? Really? That's just spiteful.
