She bathes me in sweetness
I cannot reveal
For sharing dreams
I need my woman

This humble expression
Meagerly dressed
My eyes so mean
It has no meaning

But jealous night and
All her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone
I need my love to translate

I play the piano
No more running honey
This time to the sky
I'll sing if clouds don't hear me

To the sun I'll cry
And even if I'm blinded
I'll try moon gazer
Because with you I'm stronger
I'm stronger, I'm stronger

Arc of a diver
Effortlessly
My mind in sky
And when I wake up

Daytime and nighttime
I feel you near
Warm water breathing
She helps me here

But jealous night and
All her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone
I need my love to translate

This time to the sky
I'll sing if clouds don't hear me

To the sun I'll cry
And even if I'm blinded
I'll try moon gazer
Because with you I'm stronger

But jealous night and
All her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone
I need my love to translate

This time to the sky
I'll sing if clouds don't hear me

To the sun I'll cry
And even if I'm blinded
I'll try moon gazer
Because with you I'm stronger

Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo

Lean streaky music
Spawned on the streets
I hear it but with you
I had to go

'Cause my rock 'n' roll
Is putting on weight
And the beat it goes on

Arc of a diver
Effortlessly
My mind in sky
And when I wake up

Daytime and nighttime
I feel you near
Warm water breathing
She helps me here

But jealous night and
All her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone
I need my love to translate

With you my love
We're going to raid the future
With you my love
We're going to stick up the past

We'll hold today to ransom
'Til our quartz clock stop
Until yesterday
Whoa, until yesterday
Until yesterday
'Til our quartz clock stop

Steve Winwood

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.
