Tales Of Brave Ulysses (BBC Sessions)

Tales Of Brave Ulysses (BBC Sessions) - Cream

Written by：Eric Clapton/Martin Sharp

You thought the leaden winter

Would bring you down forever

But you rode upon a steamer

To the violence of the sun

And the colors of the sea blind

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 girls 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
