爱华网No one waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, i fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
Let's make the best of the situation
Before i finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.滚石音乐评论杂志出版的书籍《摇滚乐史》中有如下一段的文字:“有那么一类歌曲，歌手创作它们的时候无异于在自己的心脏上划开了一个开口，聆听它们的感受和亲眼目击观看了一场自杀没有什么区别。如BobDylan的歌曲Like a Rolling Stone, the Four Tops的歌曲Reach Out， I'll beThere, Supremes的歌曲Love Child, Neil Young的歌曲Tonight's the Night,John Lennon的整张专辑John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band等等，…而这其中，最伟大的便是《LAYLA》。”Clapton用十年的煎熬最终等到了和好友George Harrison的妻子PattieBoyd的婚姻，但是这段婚姻却也只有十年。婚姻随着EricClapton十年间两次严重出轨而走向终点。不能生育的Pattie最后选择独自生活，让我想到了旧约里亚伯拉罕的妻子Sarah。而每次演绎起这首Layla的时候，Clapton你都是怎样的心情呢？真是令人费解的牧羊座。
