Calypso by Lincoln Rose https://padlet.com/lrose110/m5etugn3eaqy Is crazy en-us 2018-08-29 15:16:11 UTC 2026-03-22 20:08:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Doubleheart.png Calypso lrose110 https://padlet.com/lrose110/m5etugn3eaqy/wish/276269646 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 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
