|
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 it blows long |
|
As I sing into the wind |
|
My name is Calypso |
|
And I have lived alone |
|
I live on an island |
|
I tell of nights |
|
Where I could taste the salt on his skin |
|
Salt of the waves |
|
And of tears |
|
And though he,pulled away |
|
I kept him here for years |
|
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 will 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 |
