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
 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
 
 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 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
