One of my favorite Clapton tunes. One interesting observation, something which has always stood out, the line, 'harder said than done'. I wonder if he intentionally said this backwards (to throw people off of truly knowing the real meaning of the lyrics), or if he did so because it just sounded better or fit better with the music this way.
Harder said than done doesn't really make any sense. What he's really trying to say is, 'Easier said than done'. That is the phrase that we all know and use (in our American English vernacular). If it really was harder said than done, then it would also obviously be easier done than said.
