Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses, 1967

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 touch 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 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 Yeah

The tiny purple fishes Run laughing through your fingers You want to take her with you To the hard land of the winter
