Song lyrics: Calypso Wind by Max Creek
Came into port on an evening tide
A four day sail from the golden coast
With a hold of tea and Indian spice
The captain gave us a day at most
A day became a lifetime’s charm
I heard the siren’s song
And met and loved a goddess new
Whose breath caressed my brow
With eyes as gray as rain-soaked clouds
And hair as black as moonless night
A smile so bright outshines the sun
And a touch as warm as evening’s light
We walked the sands and stood upon
A rock caressed by waves
We watched the sea save setting sun
Give birth the moon she saves.
And oh, the lady lived under the mountain
On an island that bore her name
And the lady and the song and the wind that blew
All became the same
The lady has my heart and soul
And in her hands a golden chain
With both wrapped up within its links
There is a need to bring me back again
Tomorrow I set sail
The need to wander has my way
And shorebirds cry as I turn to go
And tempt me yet to stay
And she said, oh, do you really have to go
Must you leave so soon?
And all that night they danced in the light
Of a bright September moon
Hear music of the wind and sea
May they both draw you close to me
Hear music of the wind and sea
May they both draw you close to me
Hear music of the wind and sea
May they both draw you close to me
Hear music of the wind and sea
May they both draw you close to me
It’s the song that she sings
As he sails on the wings
Of a bright Calypso Wind
