Tales Of Brave Ulysses (Mono version)

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 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
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
