Calypso's Dub Temptation Lyrics

Shipwrecked and lost, far from the ocean's foam

Calypso's isle, now my unwanted home

Her beauty bright, a gilded, sweet despair

My heart it aches, for Ithaca to share

The days drift by, in hazy, sunlit ease

Her gentle voice, whispers upon the breeze

She offers life, eternal and so grand

But freedom calls, from this enchanted land

The rhythm slow, it mirrors her embrace

A velvet trap, with beauty and with grace

But in my soul, a deeper current flows

Of hearth and kin, and all that my heart knows

Stay here with me, (oh-oh-oh) don't you sail away

Eternal bliss, (yeah-yeah-yeah) here you can stay

Her sweet command, (no-no-no) a tempting decree

But home's the call, (oh-oh-oh) that sets my spirit free

Island dreams fade, homeland's light I crave

Escape this spell, the future I must save

The ocean sighs, a constant, mournful sound

As days turn years, on this enchanted ground

The wine is sweet, the fruit is ripe and red

But still, my soul, for Ithaca is bred

Her magic weaves, a web around my will

Yet memories strong, my empty spirit fill

Of wife and son, across the distant sea

Their faces call, eternally to me

The rhythm slows, it binds me to this place

Her loving gaze, upon my weary face

But deep inside, a fire starts to burn

For open skies, and lessons I must learn

Stay here with me, (oh-oh-oh) don't you sail away

Eternal bliss, (yeah-yeah-yeah) here you can stay

Her sweet command, (no-no-no) a tempting decree

But home's the call, (oh-oh-oh) that sets my spirit free

Though shadows fall, and whispers fill the air

My spirit fights, against this sweet snare

The gods will guide, my weary, longing soul

To break these chains, and make my spirit whole
