Tales Of Brave Ulysees Lyrics

Tales Of Brave Ulysees lyrics

You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,

But you rode
upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.



And the colors 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,

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.



The
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.



The tiny purple fishes run
lauging through your fingers,

And you want to take her with you to the hard
land of the winter.
