robin laing - ulysses lyrics

[verse 1]
across the wine dark sea spreads the rosy fingered dawn
it lights your eyes with longing, but still you linger on
day after day ulysses, the sands of time run through
go back to sea it’s in your heart, i will wait for you

[verse 2]
by the sandy cove your black ship rests from year to year
with white sails always ready and the rowing gear
day after day ulysses, the lotus blooms for you
the siren’s silken singing, shadows everything you do
[verse 3]
in the warm clear night i hear you pacing in the hall
i know your mind is flying where the long waves rise and fall
day after day ulysses, i feel you slipping away
in my eyes the sting of tears, in yours the salt sea+spray

[verse 4]
you’re not the kind of man to be content with what you’ve done
others seek for guidance, you reach for the sun
day after day ulysses, you study the changing sky
watching for the goddess, who smiles with flashing eyes

[verse 5]
in all the songs and tales you are the undefeated man
but growing old is not a game of catch me if you can
day after day ulysses, our days slip by so fast
their finest colours fade, into the landscape of the past

[verse 6]
across the wine dark sea spreads the rosy fingered dawn
it lights your eyes with longing, but still you linger on
day after day ulysses, the sands of time run through
go back to sea it’s in your heart, i will wait for you
you might also like
