Tales of Brave Ulysses - Cream

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 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 How his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing The tiny purple fishes Run laughing through your fingers And you want to take her with you To the hard land of the winter

In an endless sea with you Sailing under the rain The only colour of my blues Is made of dust and sand Driftin' It's every day the same Clouds pass me by And I'm bound to take my time Until I find you The wind may send me home to you Before the harvest starts again And if the light come shine on through Will you still recall my name? Driftin' It's every day the same Clouds pass me by And I'm bound to take my time Until I find you I've been here and almost everywhere I sailed the seven seas while you sat down on your chair You've been good to me And I've been good to you Lost in the hands of gravity Soon I'll get back to blue Driftin' It's every day the same Clouds pass me by And I'm bound to take my time Clouds pass me by And I'm bound to take my time Until I found you
