paroles de chanson Calypso - Live - 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
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
