• Calypso

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
