Tales Of Brave Ulysses Lyrics - Live Cream, Vol. 2 - Cream

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 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 kiss 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 

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
