I could have spent my whole life in her arms
Given in to the spell of her charms
Life on her beach
All I wanted in reach
But I threw it away
You know it was not so bad on that isle
With a goddess whose happiness would hinge on my smile
By the split cedar fire
In her endless desire
No, it wasn't bad at all
But "Oh, no," I said "I just cannot stay"
And I'd cry on the beach pining away
For my home in Ithaca
My wife and my son
And I built a raft and sailed away
(chorus)Now this wine dark sea
Tastes pretty salty to me
I have swum for too far and too long
Oh Calypso Tell me how could I know
That going home was my own siren song
Well the man of many turns has hit a turn for the worst
Though I've seen storms like this one
I fear that this time I'm cursed
'Cause the god of the sea
Wants revenge, he has found me
And I am sinking
(chorus)
She told me if I stayed by her side
She'd hold me and I'd never die
And as the waves crash around me
I feel a taste of mortality
I should have seen her
With more than one eye
