Mv name is Calypso I \valkcd the ocean daily \nd I have lived alone I prayed to every deity
I live on an island linallv the ocean gave me \nd I waken to the dawn \vhat it should never take away A long rime ago
I watched him struggle with the sea You were just like a god
I knew that he was drowning You stepped out from a cloud And I brought him into me but by the ftrst thing you said Now today I knew I’d never share your bed Come morning light lie sails away Couldn’t we possibly be each other’s? After one last night Isn’t there a somewhere to be lovers? I let him go. Why did you have to be for another? Why can’t I come with you as a lover? My name is Calypso My garden overflows ! walk back long the ocean Thick and wild and hidden I watch where your footsteps have been Is the sweetness there that grows Should I trust the gods of destiny My hair it blows long or throw myself into the sea? As I sing into the wind My name is Calypso Couldn’t we possibly be each other’s? And I have lived alone Isn’t there a somewhere to be lovers? I live on an island \Vhy did you have to be for another? [tell of nights Why can’t I come with you as a lover? 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 It’s a lonely time ahead I do not ask him to return I let him go I let him go
“Nausicaa”
