The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
Sparkling waves are calling you to touch her white laced lips
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids
By the sirens sweetly singing
With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured
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 touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
You see your girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
You know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
