KALYPSO
(J. Wilson)

I've got a world upon my shoulders,
but down here, I forget my calling
Fatherless child, you know how to mother an only son
It was so cold, when first I swam
I've been so long, sleeves rolled up, playing in the dirt
And now I need you again, fatherless child
Come administer your magic charms on me

Seven years is a long time, too deep for a blue knight
Somewhere there's a king waiting, with a promise that is mine

You grabbed my dagger, when I tried to war
And it was only to be a short reprieve,
Ah but for a time – those brown locks draped around that body,
I saw those locks – I couldn't leave

Journey on, brave a torrent, kill a Cyclops, battle through
Somewhere lies my redemption, there and then I'll remember you

I've been so long, playing in the dirt
And now I need your magic charms,
you've got me fatherless child
