Tales of Brave Ulysses Songtext
von Saxon

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 (with tales of brave Ulysses)
With tales of brave Ulysses (with tales of brave Ulysses)
