My Father`s Eyes — текст песни (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.
