You thought th

         
e leaden winte

Would bring yo

        
u down forever
         
But you rode u

[Verse 1]
         
And the colors

        
 of the sea
          
Bind your eyes

           
 with tremblin

   
g mermaids
         
And you touch 

            
the distant be


aches
       
With tales of 

       
brave Ulysses
         
How his naked 

           
ears were tort


ured
        
By the sirens 

        
sweetly singin

calling you
       
To kiss their

ody
       
Dancing throug

       
h the turquois

And her footpr

             
ints make you 


follow
          
Where the sky 

       
loves the sea
         
And when your 

        
fingers find h


er
       
She drowns you

        
 in her body
         
Carving deep b

     
lue ripples
       
In the tissues

         
 of your mind
