Pilgrim

By eric clapton and simon climie

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day,
She can make me feel all right and make it all okay.
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 put her hands in my hair, put her kiss on my face.
She puts my heart in my mouth, my soul in its place.
Who could love me like she do? who could even start to try?
She can love me more than you; i never wonder why.

Chorus

Chorus

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

And the more that i know, seems the more that i care.
Give the world and all i own 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.

(by eric clapton)

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.

First verse

Second verse

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

The point on the water, there's a change in the air,
A vibe 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 a world that has fallen apart.

Out of my mind, baby, show me a sign, 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 hidden inside of me?

But why should i worry and why do i care
When this road that i walk on is going nowhere.
I stand and i study every face in the crowd,
See the fear in their eyes, they must be thinking out loud.

Chorus

Scratching 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? i think it's inside of me.

Chorus

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 militarized totalitarianisms, having as their root the terror of the
Atomic bomb and as their consequence the destruction of civilization (or, if
The warfare is limited, the perpetuation of militarism); or else one
Supranational totalitarianism, called into existence by the social chaos
Resulting from rapid technological progress in general and the atomic
Revolution in particular, and developing, under the need for efficiency and
Stability, into the welfare-tyranny of utopia. you pays your money and you
Takes your choice.

{the quote is the final paragraph of the foreward to aldous huxley's "brave
New world", transcribed here in its entirety.}

(by eric clapton, simon clime)

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.

By bob dylan

In the lonely night,
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 the shaky streets,
Listening to my heart beat
In the record-breaking heat
When we were born in time.

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 more than enough.
Ah babe, why did i ever leave you
Or believe you?

In the rising curve,
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,
I took you close and got what i deserve
When we were born in time.

Just when i knew who to thank, you went blank
Just as the firelight was gleaming.
You were snow, you were rain,
You were stripes and you were plain.
Oh babe, can it be you've been scheming
Or was i dreaming?

In the hills of mystery,
In the foggy web of destiny,
You're still so deep inside of me
When we were born in time.

You left him standing in the pouring rain.
There's every chance he'll go insane.
And someone comes along and takes his hand.
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

Chorus

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

We made the distance,
Yeah, we made the day.
You made all the difference
'cause you found the way.

Without your wisdom
Lord, where would we be
Lost in the wilderness,
Somewhere out at sea.

But you were there
Through the days of wine and madness,
When i'd always put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.

You found the 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'd turn and put, 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'd turn and put, put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
Let me down.

You were there.
You were there.
You were there.
