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
