You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
(guitar echoes bass)
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
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,
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
(Instrumental:) A7 D C A7 D C
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
D5 D/C
By the sirens sweetly singing.
(Instrumental:) D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
(Coda:) D5 D/C D/B D/Bb
