Cream fue una banda de rock británico en los años 60. Fue uno de los primeros y más célebres power trios y supergrupos de la década. Estaba formada por Eric Clapton en la guitarra, Jack Bruce en el bajo y como vocalista y Ginger Baker en la batería. Esta formación dio a lugar una de las más vitales y efectistas bandas entre 1966 y 1968. Cream es considerada un banda adelantada a su época y de una influencia inconmensurable. Supuso el adiós del pop por la vía del blues y la búsqueda de mayor amplitud conceptual para el rock.

(calmly) You though the leading winter would bring you down forever But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun
(wah riff, x2 before lyrics, then during lyrics) And the colours of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing While the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss the white laced lips

[Verse] (wah riff during lyrics ) And you see a girls brown body dancing through the turquoise And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea And when your fingers find her she drowns you in her body Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind
[Middle part again]
[Verse] (bass riff, calmly) The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
(wah riff, x2 before lyrics, then during lyrics) Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands With tales of brave Ulysses how his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing
[Solo on verse chords]
[Verse] (bass riff, calmly) The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
