| 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.
|
| The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
|
| And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
