{duration:02:37}
You thought the 
leaden winter 
would bring you 
down forever
But you rode 
upon a steamer 
to the violence 
of the sun

And the colours 
of the sea 
bind your eyes with 
trembling mermaids
And you touch the d
istant beaches 
with tales of 
brave Ulysses
How his naked ears 
were tortured 
by the sirens 
sweetly singing
While the sparkling 
waves are calling 
you to kiss their 
white laced lips

And yo[A]u see a 
girls bro[D]wn 
[C]bod[A]y dancing 
through [D]the[C]
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 laughing through 
your fingers
And you want to take 
her with you 
to the hard land 
of the winter
