Tales Of Brave Ulysses (Live At Winterland)

Well 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

UlyssesHow his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing

Sparkling waves are calling you to touch her white laced lips

You see your 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

You want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

Her name is

Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell

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

You want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
