I can't believe she's goin'
I said please show me
What selfish seeds I plant along the way
Black harvest today

The empty bed she left me
Cold on one side
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me

I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you?

Can I cope with today?
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me

But I'll control my feelings
I find faith, healing
And I'll find hope singing
The way is so long

But I'm gonna be strong
Oh what a turn around
Soon, someday I'll be bound

And I'll cope with today
My love is leavin'
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me

Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you, my love?

Breathing your perfume
Chills me
Dreams never lie
Is it true, asking you?

My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
That's what you heard

I'm free as a bird
Leavin', leavin'
My love is leavin' me
Leavin, my love is leavin'

'Cause my love is leavin' me
That's what you heard
'Coz I'm free as a bird
My love is leavin', leavin'

Leavin', leavin'
My love is leavin'

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
