Eric Clapton Album

It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law

Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there

I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free

Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there

It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law

Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there

I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free

Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there

Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame
I've had nothing but the blues
Since I heard your name

No more, no more blues today
No more, no more blues today
I've been fond of you baby
Had me crying everyday

I've been waiting, waiting so long for you
Waiting, waiting so long for you
It was good news sometimes
Sometimes, it was bad news

Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame
I've had nothing but the blues
Since I heard your name

I've been crying, crying, crying all night long
Crying, crying all night long
I had nothing but the blues
Since you came along

Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame

Well, my mind is goin' through them changes
I feel just like comittin' a crime
Every time you see me goin' somewhere
I know I'm goin' outta my mind, yeah
Oh, my baby she left me the other day
And we were havin' alot of fun
Oh, she knew I just loved her so
And that's the reason why she had to run

It's all right
You know what I mean
All right
What I say
All right
Oh, yeah

Well, my mind is goin' through so many changes
I'm goin' right out of my mind
Every time ya see me goin' somewhere
I could commit a big ole crime, yeah
She had me runnin'
She had me riddin'
She had me runnin', hiddin', riddin', runnin'
She had me runnin'
She had me hiddin'
Had me runnin
That's right, yeah
Had me runnin
Had me hiddin'
She had me runnin'

Yeah
All right
What I say
All right

Well, my mind is going through them changes
I feel just like commitin' a crime
Every time ya see me goin' some where
I feel like I'm goin' outta my mind, yeah
Every day that she left me alone
She didn't have much to say, no no
Every time she stepped out on me
She didn't know how I feel, yeah
How'd I feel, how'd I feel, baby
She didn't know what I feel like
Every time, she just see me
She Didn't know
No, No
Oh, my darling, darling
Oh, Oh

How many times must I tell you babe,
How many bridges I've got to cross?
How many times must I explain myself
Before I can talk to the boss,
Fore I can talk to the boss?

How many times must I say I love you
Before you finally understand?
Won't you be my forever woman?
I'll try to be your forever man,
Try to be your forever man.

Second Verse

Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Than to stay around here if you're gonna pull me down

Well I give you all my money, everything I own
Well I give you all my money, everything I own

And some day I'm gonna get lucky
And down the road you know I'm gone

Well I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Well I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Than to stay around here when you're gonna pull me down

You know I give you all my money
Yeah little girl, everything I own
Well I give you all my money, everything I own

Well today I'm gonna get lucky
And down the road you know I'm gone

I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before.
I know that I don't have much to give,
But I can open any door.

Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord.

I have finally found a place to live
Just like I never could before.
And I know I don't have much to give,
But soon I'll open any door.

Everybody knows the secret,
Everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a place to live
In the presence of the Lord.
In the presence of the Lord.

I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before.
And I know I don't have much to give,
But I can open any door.

Everybody knows the secret,
I said everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord.
In the color of the Lord.

[No lyrics]

Well all right, so I've been foolish
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low

Well all right, well all right
You know we live and love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
You know our lifetime love will be all right

Well all right, so I'm not working
Well all right, let people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way

Well all right, well all right
You know we live and love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
You know our lifetime love will be all right

Well all right, so I've been foolish
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low

Well all right, well all right
You know we live and love with all our might
Well all right, well all right
You know our lifetime love will be all right

(by Otis Rush)

Lay awake at night,
Oh so low, just so troubled.
Can't get a job,
Laid off and I'm having double trouble.

Hey hey, to make you've got to try.
Baby, that's no lie.
Some of this generation is millionaires;
I can't even keep decent clothes to wear.

Laugh at me walking,
And I have no place to go.
Bad luck and trouble has taken me;
I have no money to show.

Chorus

I had a strange dream from a pearly queen,
And she could drink more wine than I've ever seen.
She had some gypsy's blood flowing through her feet,
And when the time was right she said that I would meet
My destiny.

I traveled 'round the world to find the sun.
I couldn't stop myself from having fun,
But when the time was right, the flowers grew
But they were made of silk and sequins, two by two.

I traveled 'round the world to find the sun.
I couldn't stop myself from having fun.
But when the time was right, the flowers grew
But they were made of silk and sequins, I would meet
My destiny.

Tell the truth, tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling who?

There you sit there, looking so cool
While the whole show is passing you by
You better come to terms with your fellow men soon, cause...

The whole world is shaking now, can't you feel it?
A new dawn is breaking now, can't you see it?

Tell the truth, tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling who?

It doesn't matter just who you are
Or where you're going or been
Open your eyes and look into your heart

The whole world is shaking now, can't you feel it?
A new dawn is breaking now, can't you see it?
I said see it, yeah, can't you see it?
Can't you see it, yeah, can't you see it?
I can see it, yeah

Tell the truth, tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling who?

Hear what I say, 'cause every word is true
You know I wouldn't tell you no lies
Your time's coming, gonna be soon, boy

Tell the truth, tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling who?

Tell the truth, tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth, who's been fooling who?

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction,
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition,
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition,
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
Yeah, After midnight...

[No lyrics]

I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby,
But she treats me so unkind.

I got mean things,
I got mean things all on my mind.
I got mean things,
I got mean things all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby,
But she treats me so unkind.

I'm going down to the station,
Catch the fastest train I see.
I'm going down to the station,
Catch the fastest train I see.
I got the blues 'bout miss so-and-so
And her son's got the blues about me.

I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby,
But she treats me so unkind.

[No lyrics]

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running 'round.
Butterflies and zebras, fairy tales,
That's all she ever thinks about.

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
Said, "It's all right, take anything you want,
Anything you want, anything."

[Repeat First Verse]

[Repeat Second Verse]

Fly on, little wing.

[No lyrics]

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.

[Chorus:]
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.

[Chorus]

But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
Still I can't find my way home,
And I ain't done nothing wrong,
But I can't find my way home.

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out.
Cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground.
Cocaine.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues.
Cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run.
Cocaine.

Chorus

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on.
Cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back.
Cocaine.
