    As I am strolling down the garden path,
    I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
    It looked so pretty and it was unique;
    I had to bend down just to have a peek.
    Hello old friend,
    It's really good to see you once again.
    Hello old friend,
    It's really good to see you once again.
    I saw you walking underneath the stars;
    I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car.
    I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
    If I got out and walked to where you are.
    Hello old friend,
    It's really good to see you once again.
    Hello old friend,
    It's really good to see you once again.
    An old man passed me on the street today;
    I thought I knew him but I couldn't say.
    I stopped to think if I could place his frame.
    When he tipped his hat I knew his name.

    His addiction was in full force during this period, you can see it had a grip on him. But I think we are all happy that he came out of it alive, many didn't.

      It's so good to see rock stars make the decision to get clean and live healthy. So many people think they cannot be creative without drugs, and that's unfortunate.

    • @truckerkevthepaidtourist
      @truckerkevthepaidtourist 6 років тому +6

      No he was cleaned up as far as drug addiction this is where his alcohol addiction was really taking over in cocaine bars to heroin he had beaten that but then he went to just get another one unfortunately but at least you made it through all of those

    • @finismalorum9746
      @finismalorum9746 6 років тому +3

      He was a full on drunk from 1968 to 1983, he then went to rehab and was clean for a couple months and then went back to drinking. It was only after attempting suicide (drinking all the liquor he had in his house and downing a full bottle of Valium) that he got clean and stayed clean.

      @FortyNineHudson 7 років тому +5

      He was in the throes of his alcoholism here. If you're referring to the head shake, I think that was just him trying to keep himself alert, the way you might shake your head back and forth while driving late at night to make sure you don't fall asleep at the wheel.

You can hear her in two different parts of EC's career, this period, then again in the mid 80s, e.g. at Live Aid! Also look for her Hyde Park 2018 performance of The Core!!!

    George's Lead was rather loud. i cant help but notice Clapton's a little apprehensive at first. i still to this day, dont understand why he choose the accustic guitar to play, rather than his Strat on this one. could it have been because Dylan was camping down below the garden..and would pop in and out of rehearsel on this album. who knows. @Ronald Dunn - hello from Kentucky..i was born and raised in Kalamazoo. however raised my family and children in Kentucky since 1996.
