Calypso - Suzanne Vega
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

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 hell 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

Its a lonely time ahead

I do not ask him to return
I let him go
I let him go
