Suzanne Vega - Calypso lyrics

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
Suzanne Vega - Calypso - http://motolyrics.com/suzanne-vega/calypso-lyrics.html
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 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
