Lyrics:

Suzanne Vega

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
