Eric Clapton is always an intriguing man to watch. As we all know, those sad eyes get to me. The dialogue between the lines is so interesting these days. I like to think most of us are doing the best we can and even that is not too easy. Looking for that breakthrough. I understand now much better EXACTLY how secret societies maneuver us into betraying each other and I am really getting tired of that practice. Good hearts can get us through it I’m hoping.
THE COMPLETE REPRISE STUDIO ALBUMS Collection spans 15 years with remastered versions of Clapton’s first six solo studio albums with Reprise, along with an additional LP of rarities
Including a previously unreleased remix of “Pilgrim”

Losing Hand lyrics
Ray Charles
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
I gambled on your love baby, yes and got a losing hand
Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand
While I was playing fair baby you played a cheating game
While I was playing fair baby you played a cheating game
I know you don't care but I love you just the same
I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
But you used me for your joker 'cause I thought you're deal was clean
The way you did me pretty baby I declare I never understand
The way you did me pretty baby I declare I never understand
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
"Midnight Hour Blues" lyrics
(originally by Leroy Carr)
In the wee midnight hour, long 'fore a break of day
In midnight hour, long 'fore a break of day
When the blues grips up on you, carries your mind away
I lay in my bed and cannot go to sleep
I lay in my bed and cannot go to sleep
My heart's in trouble, my mind is sinking deep
My mind was running back to days of long ago
My mind was running back to days of long ago
Anyone I love, I don't see her anymore
Blues why do you worry me, why do you stay so long?
Why do you worry me, why do you stay so long?
Came to me yesterday, then with me all night long
I've been so worried, I didn't know what to do
I've been so worried, I didn't know what to do
I guess that's why, I've had these midnight hour blues
