My name is Calypso and I have lived alone |
|
I live on an island and I waken to the dawn |
|
A long time ago I watched him struggle with the sea |
|
I knew that he was drowning and I brought him into me |
|
Now today come morning light he sails away |
|
After one last night I let him go |
|
My name is Calypso my garden overflows |
|
Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness there that grows |
|
My hair blows long as I sing into the wind |
|
I tell of nights where I could taste the salt on his skin |
|
Salt of the waves and of tears and while he pulled away |
|
I kept him here for years now I let him go |
|
My name is Calypso I have let him go |
|
In the dawn he sails away to be gone forever more |
|
And the waves will take him in again but he'll know their ways now |
|
I will stand upon the shore with a clean heart |
|
And my song in the wind the sand may sting my feet |
|
And the sky will burn it's a lonely time ahead |
|
I do not ask him to return I let him go I let him go |
