Lyrics - Just Like a Prisoner by Eric Clapton

By eric clapton
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.
