Tales Of Brave Ulysses

You thought the leaden winter
 Would bring you down forever
 But you rode upon a steamer
 To the violence of the sun
 ♪
 And the colours of the sea
 Bind 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
 For the sparkling waves are calling you
 To kiss their white laced lips
 And you see a girl's 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
 Tiny purple fishes
 Run laughing through your fingers
 And you want to take her with you
 To the hard land of the winter
 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
 ♪
 Tiny purple fishes
 Run laughing through your fingers
 And you want to take her with you
 To the hard land of the winter
