Pilgrim Lyrics

Artist: Eric Clapton
Album: Pilgrim

And how do I choose and where do I draw the line
Between truth and necessary pain?
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
That things will be all right again?
What words do I use to try and explain
To those who have witnessed all my tears?
And what does it mean to know all these things
When love's been wasted all these years
When love's been wasted all these years.
Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from other people
Who could never understand.
I was a pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love,
A pilgrim for your love,
I was a pilgrim for your love.
It's like living in a nightmare,
Like looking in the blackest hole,
Like standing on the edge of nothing,
Completly out of control.
Now where have I been all these years
And how come I just couldn't see?
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness,
I was a pilgrim for your love,
I was a pilgrim for your love.
Standing in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand,
Removed from other people
Who could never understand.
Chorus
I was a pilgrim for your love.
A pilgrim for your love.
I was a pilgrim.
Pilgrim for your love

I heard this when I was going through a bad divorce and it sort-of became my theme song for what I was feeling. 13 years and it was all wasted. Close friends saw me so depressed. It still hurts.

Never-aging song. Too bad it's too real to be just a beautiful song. Hurts too much when it happens. I wish people knew what they're doing when they waste, take for granted and make cry. It all comes around.

....I divorced someone very dear at a younger age....I didn't appreciate what I had with him then....or the patience to deal with it....
After 22 years of being apart, both of us with different partners, living our separate lives - by pure fate, we find each other, alone...and yet again, we find one another... we have taken off where we left off. We learned. We grew up. We know that Love never ends... and this time, I'm here to stay with you till the end of our journey!! I loved you then, I love you today and I will always Love you!!! :) We were Pilgrims for our Love....
