Let It Grow
Eric Clapton Lyrics
Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on,
But there's nothing left to show,
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, so let it grow, let it grow
Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do
Only ask and you will get what you are needing,
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
Love is lovely, let it grow

It also appeared later in compilations like Crossroads and The Cream of Clapton. This track is mainly composed of guitar solos and is stated by Eric Clapton himself as being somewhat similar to Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway To Heaven'. The song starts quietly with Clapton singing some introspective lyrics referencing 'Crossroads,' which became a theme of his career after the early defining moment of Cream's version of the song. Background singers Marcy Levy and Yvonne Elliman join Clapton on the chorus as the song builds. It comes to an instrumental climax at the end, with a building mellotron line over guitar arpeggios.

13 Eric Clapton - You Were There Lyrics- From the Album - 1998 - Eric Clapton - Pilgrim 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 Musical Outro You were there You were there You were there

14 Inside Of Me Lyrics- From the Album - 1998 - Eric Clapton - Pilgrim The point on the water, there's a chill 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 the 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 is falling apart (Out of my mind baby, show me a sign, baby Show me a way to get back on time) Tell me why? And where do we go from here (Please where do we go, baby, how will I know?) Tell me why (Who holds the key, is it hidden inside of me?) Musical Interlude 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 Tell me why Can I find no relief in my heart? 'Cause I reside In a world that is falling apart (Out of my mind baby, show me a sign, baby) Tell me why (Show me a way to get back on time) And where do we go (Please where do we go, baby, how will I know?) Where do we go from here (Who holds the key, is it hidden inside of me?) 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 Tell me why Can I find no relief in my heart? 'Cause I reside To the world that is falling apart (Out of my mind, baby, show me a sign, baby) Where do we go from here (Show me a way, to get back on time) I want to know (Where do we go, baby, how will I know?) It isn’t my fault (Who holds the key, is it hidden inside of me?) Use it against (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)

03 Eric Clapton - White Room Lyrics from the Album - 1995 - Eric Clapton - The Cream Of Clapton In the white room with black curtains in the station Black roof country, No gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawn light smiles on you leaving, My contentment I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves You said no strings Could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time at the station Been I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd Consolation for the old wound now forgotten Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings How sweet in this place with the lowly cry Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves Musical Outro

04 Eric Clapton - Crossroads Lyrics from the Album - 1995 - Eric Clapton - The Cream Of Clapton I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees. I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees. Asked the Lord above for mercy, Save me if you please. I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride. I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride. Nobody seemed to know me, Everybody passed me by. When I'm going down to Rosedale, Take my rider by my side. I'm going down to Rosedale, Take my rider by my side. You can still barrelhouse, Baby, on the riverside. Musical Interlude Going down to Rosedale, Take my rider by my side. Going down to Rosedale, Take my rider by my side. You can still barrelhouse, Baby, on the riverside. Musical Interlude You can run, you can run, Tell my friend-boy baldy Brown. Run, you can run, tell my friend-boy baldy Brown. And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down.

And you'd better pick yourself up from the ground Before they bring the curtain down Yes, before they bring the curtain down Oh oh Musical Interlude Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you She didn't have the time to wait in the queue She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle
