There'll be times at sunrise when my heart speaks your name
For you left with no warning but there's no one left to blame
All those days full of golden sun when you walked by my side
And everything that you gave to me can never be denied
And sometimes the other shore is so far away
And that darker river's edge is too far away
And across the waterline is far away

On a new tomorrow cooling breeze shows a star
There can be so much sorrow when you've traveled from afar
But there's nothing that can harm you when the night's closing in
In the bright lit heavens above us you know we'll meet there again

And sometimes the other shore is so far away
And that darker river's edge is too far away
And across the waterline is so far away

In the rush of our breathing there is always passing time
There is always somebody leaving and someone's always left behind
But something endures in the morning's blue light
I have you and you have me
And it'll be alright when the skies all clear 'cause we're all born to be free

The other shore is so far way
And that darker river's edge is too far away
And across the waterline it's so far away

And sometimes the other shore is so far away
And across the river's edge is so far away
So far away, far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, far away
So far away, far away, so far away

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.
