Lyrics:

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 wil
l stand upon the shore

With a clean heart

And my song in the wind

The sand will sting my fee
t
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
