| | You thought the leaden | winter would b | ring you down f | orever, |
| | D5 | D/C | D/B | D/Bb |
| | But you rode upon a ste | amer to the vi | olence of the s | un. |
| | D5 | D/C | D/B | D/Bb |
| And the | colors of the | sea blind your | eyes with trembling | mermaids, |
| | D5 | D/C | D/B | D/Bb |
| And you | touch the distant b | eaches with ta | les of brave Ul | ysses: |
| | D5 | D/C | D/B | D/Bb |
| How his | naked ears were | tortured by the | sirens sweetly | singing, |
| | D5 | D/C | D/B | D/Bb |
| For the | sparkling waves are cal | ling you to k | iss their white | laced lips. |
