Eric Clapton - Just Like A Prisoner Lyrics

Eric Clapton Lyrics

"Just Like A Prisoner"

Just like a prisoner
He don't know right from wrong
Just like a baby
He sings a pleading song

And that's why
So many tears must fall
Yes, that's why
So many tears must fall

Just like a sailor
He steers away from home
He feels a tidal wave
In his heart, but he ain't alone

And that's why
So many tears must fall
Yes, that's why
So many tears must fall

I'm like that prisoner
I don't know right from wrong
Just like that baby
I sing a pleading song

And that's why
You'll never know how I feel
Yes, that's why
You'll never know how I feel
