My Father's Eyes Lyrics - Pilgrim - Eric Clapton

Sailin' down behind the sun 

Waitin' for my Prince to come 

Praying for the healing rain 

To restore my soul again 

Just a toe rag 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 looked in my father's eyes 

(Look into 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 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

My father's eyes 

That's when I need my father's eyes 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

My father's eyes 

(Yeah)

Then the jagged edge appears 

Through the distant clouds of tears 

Now 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 

And I looked into my father's eyes 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

My father's eyes 

I looked into my father's eyes 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

My father's eyes 

My father's eyes 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

My father's eyes 

I looked into my father's eyes 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

My father's eyes 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

(Look into my father's eyes) 

(Yeah, yeah) 

(Look into my father's eyes)
