You thought the leaden winter
      G5                    G5
would bring you down forever,
        D5                 C5
But you rode upon a steamer
       G5                 G5
to the violence of the sun

( D5 C5 G5 G5 ) x2

        D5             C5
And the colors of the sea
           G5                   G5
blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
        D5                 C5
And you touch the distant beaches
     G5                 G5
with tales of brave Ulysses
        D5                  C5
How his naked ears were tortured
       G5              G5
by the sirens sweetly singing,
        D5                   C5
For the sparkling waves are calling you
   G5                  G5
to kiss their white laced lips

C5      D5                  C5
And you see a girl's brown body
   G5                   G5
dancing through the turquoise,
        D5               C5
And her footprints make you follow
      G5                G5
where the sky loves the sea
         D5            C5
And when your fingers find her,
           G5          G5
she drowns you in her body,
D5                 C5
Carving deep blue ripples
   G5                 G5 
in the tissues of your mind

D5               C5
The tiny purple fishes
    G5                     G5
run laughing through your fingers,
        D5                     C5
And you want to take her with you
       D5                C5
to the hard land of the winter

    D5            C5
Her name is Aphrodite
        G5               G5
and she rides a crimson shell,
        D5               C5
And you know you cannot leave her
        G5                      G5
for you touched the distant sands
     D5                  C5
With tales of brave Ulysses
        G5                    G5
how his naked ears were tortured
       D5          $      D5    C5 G5 G5
