It's an older rock song, and it goes something like:
"Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands"
The song totally rocks, but I have no idea who sings it!

The song is "Tales of Brave Ulysses" off the album, "Disraeli Gears". The band is Cream, one of the great bands of the 60s, featuring Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Ginger Baker on drums, and Jack Bruce on bass.
That album was one of my top favorites when I was a teen. I think there are 4 0r 5 songs on it actually better than the one you mention.

Tales Of Brave Ulysses
by Eric Clapton and Martin Sharp
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 lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
