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
