the Traffic of dreams and aspirations:
Stevie Winwood: Organ with bass pedals, FIERY vocals

Yesterday I was a young boy, searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted, living life from day to day
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Feels like coloured rain, tastes like coloured rain
Bring on coloured rain, yeah
I can see the sail of changing, filling with surprise
United with a feeling, bringing love into my eyes
Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Feels like coloured rain, tastes like coloured rain
Bring on coloured rain, yeah, yeah, oh, oh
