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

And you [D5]see a girl's brown b[D/C]ody da[D/B]ncing through the t[D/Bb]urquoise,
And her [D5]footprints make you [D/C]follow where the [D/B]sky loves the [D/Bb]sea.
And w[D5]hen your fingers [D/C]find her, she [D/B]drowns you in her [D/Bb]body,
C[D5]arving deep blue r[D/C]ipples in the [D/B]tissues of your [D/Bb]mind.

Her n[D5]ame is Aphro[D/C]dite and she [D/B]rides a crimson s[D/Bb]hell,
And you [D5]know you cannot l[D/C]eave her for you [D/B]touched the distant[D/Bb] sands
With t[D5]ales of brave U[D/C]lysses; how his [D/B]naked ears were tor[D/Bb]tured
By the s[D5]irens sweetly singin[D/C]g.

The t[D5]iny purple f[D/C]ishes run lau[D/B]ghing through your f[D/Bb]ingers,
And you [D5]want to take her [D/C]with you to the [D/B]hard land of the [D/Bb]winter.
