lyrics

Ulysses (Revisited)
(Cardier)

Would you wait at the gate for me lady
If I was Ulysses and fought
Till the savages ran outa savages in every war?
But I’m a short-sighted kid from the city -
I got a job in the office for life -
And every once in a while
They tell me that I’ll do alright.

When you think of the things
That he has said and did
In a far-off mysterious land -
On Ulysses’ command they all ran and they hid
And I think he wore glasses when he was a kid.

Far away I would go for a decade or so
And you would not even think of a man -
And when I brought lotsa dancing girls home
You would quite understand -
But I’m a short-sighted kid from the city -
And the job in the office ain’t fun but lady,
One day we’ll eat bunches of grapes in the sun.

When you think of the things
That he has said and did
In a far-off mysterious land -
On Ulysses’ command they all ran and they hid
And I think he wore glasses when he was a kid.

But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
