    D                     C
You thought the leaden winter
      G                    Gm
would bring you down forever,
        D                 C
But you rode upon a steamer
       G                 Gm
to the violence of the sun

( D C G Gm ) x2

        D             C
And the colors of the sea
           G                   Gm
blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
        D                 C
And you touch the distant beaches
     G                 Gm
with tales of brave Ulysses
        D                  C
How his naked ears were tortured
       G              Gm
by the sirens sweetly singing,
        D                   C
For the sparkling waves are calling you
   G                  Gm
to kiss their white laced lips

C5      D                  C
And you see a girl's brown body
   G                   Gm
dancing through the turquoise,
        D               C
And her footprints make you follow
      G                Gm
where the sky loves the sea
         D            C
And when your fingers find her,
           G          Gm
she drowns you in her body,
D                 C
Carving deep blue ripples
   G                 Gm 
in the tissues of your mind

D               C
The tiny purple fishes
    G                     Gm
run laughing through your fingers,
        D                     C
And you want to take her with you
       D                C
to the hard land of the winter

    D            C
Her name is Aphrodite
        G               Gm
and she rides a crimson shell,
        D               C
And you know you cannot leave her
        G                      Gm
for you touched the distant sands
     D                  C
With tales of brave Ulysses
        G                    Gm
how his naked ears were tortured
