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
