Cream - Passing The Time Lyrics

I saw Ginger on his very last live appearance in Berlin with my father ❤ he played this song and i recognized it within the first two beats, even if he just couldnt go anymore and got off the stage after three songs, he did come back to the stage and played this song, and even better then the ones before ❤ you could feel even with him knowing he just cant, he just couldnt not Do What He Likes 💔 it was an truly beautiful but heartbreaking moment and i am forever thankful for sharing this with my father who was just absolutly shocked when he first heard NSU Live at the age of 13 after only knowing the radio music of that time and immediatly fell in love with that pure magic insanity ❤ which love he well passed to me at a young age ;)
You all have to listen to a ten minute live drum solo version of this!!!
That is why Cream is just unique. True musician masters.
May you find peace wherever you are right now 🤘👹❤
Found one on yt https://youtu.be/MAKvDIt23Q8 starts pretty exact at minute 9 ;)

This song is just one of the reasons Cream was the greatest Rock band of all time. It's a shame they were all such ***holes. Rest in karma.

el unico en español que comenta¿

No se por que 🤷

que genial este tema

The best trio the world of rock ever produced. 3 masters 3 legends.

The band is on tour. Get it?

RIP Ginger Baker

This is Prog Cream.

Love the sung, but needed something better than that passing the time part. Just didn't fit, imho.

RIP Ginger Baker.

Ginger Baker has passed away today. So sad to hear this. What a great drummer he was. May he rest in peace.

RIP Ginger

R.I.P. Ginger Baker.

One of the craziest, creamiest Cream songs. This song defines Cream very much

I dig cream ....but this suk's

Mike Harrison not when you’re high asf

Intro great but the rest dunno what to think of it

I don't understand the hate, this song dope af

Definitely b side tho

ya had to of been there

what a fuckin jam. the BASS

One of the greatest intros of all time!

Guessing Jack was playing the cello too.

Cello. That was the instrument he first learned to play on.

yes probably, or maybe Felix Papalardi
...superb song anyway
🐂💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

@zorba nongreco It was Jack Bruce on cello. On a few other tracks, Papalardi played viola.

@Yitzhak Finnegan Yes , exactly right . Jack was kicked out of music college because
he played double bass in Jazz clubs at night while he was studying cello .

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 windowpane
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, everything fine
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

Great great great great tune.

I was the understanding that Cream is huge, what are all of these songs doing with so few views.

The problem (in The Netherlands at least) is that most people live in a hurry, music is mostly used for background sound.
Music like Cream and many others don't work well as background music, so people listen to rap/techno/(autotune) pop.

@Raymond couldnt have been more true

Acetilena
agoro nega,
será
que to atras?
que
bras

these guys were so far beyond the Beatles

+Chris Choir. You're so right. The Beatles were into a lot of sappy love songs, at least up to 1966 when "Revolver" came out .

What a dumb remark.
Wow....

Lmao don't put one down to exalt other. Be it cream, Rolling Stones, Beatles or something else... All of them were geniuses that made great and absurd music that changed the future for the decades that came after.

Eh, apples and oranges

Fantastic bass playing!

I love this song more than their hits.

Hell, yeah!

@Willie Gordon Me too. Pressed Rat and Warthog too.

A masterpiece, written by Ginger Baker. May Jack Bruce rest in peace.

@zorba nongreco Ginger Baker co-wrote this with Mike Taylor (no relation to Mick Taylor of the Stones), one of three they did on this album.

@MT_VU_RX _jukebox hero The album artwork should have been in color, imagine how that would look. I have the CD version of this album.

@Yitzhak Finnegan Facts. Thanks

Love the Ginger songs on this album.

@zorba nongreco It was Ginger Baker who wrote this tune. He did write other songs too, such as Pressed Rat And Warthog, and Blue Condition. All three members of Cream were capable songwriters and Pete Brown helped them out lyrically too. The lyrics to this are totally from Ginger Baker.

Wow song!Crazy good!
