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 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 |
