[Eb] [G]
[D] [G]
My name is Calypso and I have lived alone.
I live on an island and I wake into [Dm] the dawn.
[C] A long time I watched him struggle [G] with the sea.
I knew that he was drowning and I brought him into [C] me.
Now today, K'umori [Fm] [Eb] sails away [A] after [Dm] a long [G]
night.
[D] I [G] let him go.
[D]
[G] My name is [D] Calypso, [G] my garden overflows.
Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness [Dm] there that grows.
[C]
I hear it flow as long [C] as I sing into the
[G] wind.
I tell of nights [D] where I could [G] taste the salt [Dm] on his skin.
[C] Salt of the [F] waves and of [Eb] tears and of him pulled away.
[Am] I kept [G] him here for years.
[D] Now [G] I let him go.

[Am] [D] [G]
My name is Calypso, I have let him go.
In the dawn he sails away to be [Dm] gone forevermore.
[C]
And the [Am] waves will take him in [C] again, [G] but he'll know their ways now.
I will stand upon the shore with a clean heart and my [Dm] song in the [C] wind.
The sand may sting my [G] feet and the sky [C] will burn.
[G] [Eb] It's a lonely time ahead.
[Am] [G] I do not ask him to return.
I let him go.
I let him go.
