Významné britské rockbluesové trio, obvykle označované jako první “superskupina”. E. Clapton (nar. 1945) předtím působil v Yardbirds a v Mayallových Bluesbreakers, kde se potkává i s J. Brucem (nar. 1943). Ten mezitím krátce působil u Manfreda...
It is a cold winter,
Away is the songbird.
And gone is her traveller,
She waits at home.
The sun is on holiday,
No leaves on the trees
The animals sleep
While cold North wind blows
The snowflakes are falling
The roof a white blanket
There's ice on the window pane
She waits alone
She sits by the fireside
The room is so warm
Her children are sleeping
She waits in their home
Passing the time
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, having the wine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, wine and time rhyme
Passing the time
It is a long winter
Away is the summer
She waits for her traveller
So far from home
She sits by the fireside
The room is so warm
There's ice on the window
She's lonely alone.
