Calypso

Calypso Lyrics by Suzanne Vega

Intro Verse 1 My Name Is Calypso, And I Have Lived Alone I Live On An Island, And I 'Waken To The Dawn Long Time Ago, I Watched Him Struggle With The Sea I Knew That He Was Drowning, And I Brought Him In To Me Now Today, Come Morning Light He Sails Away; After One Last Night, I Let Him Go Verse 2 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 Verse 3 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 Know 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
