Introdução:
D C
You thought the leaden winter
G Gm
would bring you down forever,
D C
But you rode upon a steamer
G Gm
to the violence of the sun
D C
And the colors of the sea
G Gm
blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
D C
And you touch the distant beaches
G Gm
with tales of brave Ulysses
D C
How his naked ears were tortured
G Gm
by the sirens sweetly singing,
D C
For the sparkling waves are calling you
G Gm
to kiss their white laced lips
C5 D C
And you see a girl's brown body
G Gm
dancing through the turquoise,
D C
And her footprints make you follow
G Gm
where the sky loves the sea
D C
And when your fingers find her,
G Gm
she drowns you in her body,
D C
Carving deep blue ripples
G Gm
in the tissues of your mind
D
The tiny purple fishes
G Gm
run laughing through your fingers,
D C
And you want to take her with you
D C
to the hard land of the winter
D C
Her name is Aphrodite
G Gm
and she rides a crimson shell,
D C
And you know you cannot leave her
G Gm
for you touched the distant sands
D C
With tales of brave Ulysses
G Gm
how his naked ears were tortured
D C G Gm
By the sirens sweetly singing
D
The tiny purple fishes
G Gm
run laughing through your fingers,
D C
And you want to take her with you
G Gm
to the hard land of the winter
