Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes (Clapton Chronicles: The Best of Eric Clapton 1981-1999)
(by 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.

Yes, that's him.
Funny thing is that Jeremy hated to play on any of Peter's songs.
Most of the times he refused to do so, whereas Peter played rhythm guitar on Jeremy's numbers without any objections.
When you hear slide guitar numbers from Fltw. Mac. , nine out of ten times it's Jeremy.
He also did a lot of Elvis and other R&R singer imitations during life performances.
Hardly ever a song of his own making.

i just feel he never really tried to do anything more than the E.James stuff, maybe he didnt feel as if he needed to because of the other to guitarists but i just feel there were and are better ones out there . . .. .Warren Haynes . . . Derek trucks . . . . Oh yea and that guy who playes with john mayer . . . . not sure of his name but he has got a sweet touch.

Jeremy Spencer was obsessed with Elmore James and i know for a fact that Elmore did this song so it's safe to say that it is Jeremy Spencer playing slide guitar and singing. Also if u watch any footage of them playing this song live u can see Peter Green playing the rhythm guitar and Spencer on slide and vocal duties.

I have seen Jeremy Spencer play slide. I can not figure how you say he is useless.
Aged 18 he had such touch. No inhibitons about his singing at all. John Mcvie said he was the best Enlish Slide Guitar player he had seen. But no Disrepect to you. Its all about opinions. I heard in 1968 Fleetwood Mac Play live at the BBC. They were as good as anybody live. and i include the Beatles in that also
