Broken Hearted Lyrics by Eric Clapton

Pilgrim

1998

[Verse 1]
When the wind blows down this hard
Many a bond is broken
See the water lie on the ground
From where the heavens opened

[Chorus]
Lord, how will you get through this night
With your dreams departed?
And who, alone, will comfort you?
Only the broken-hearted

[Verse 2]
So you've gone beyond your means
Every wound is open
Your best laid plans are out of reach
And all your fears unspoken

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Sweet revenge is spoken then
In the twilight, it is gone
To living lies with no escape
Lord, I would rather be alone

[Verse]
I press my fingers to the wood
To tell you of my dreaming
To sing you songs from olden times
To keep the love light gleaming

[Chorus]
Because there's a place where we can go
Where we will not be parted
And who alone will enter there?
Only the broken-hearted

[Outro][x4]
Only the broken, broken-hearted
