Calypso

John Denver



To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,

to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm

To work in the service of life and living,

in search of the answers of questions unknown

To be part of the movement and part of the growing,

part of beginning to understand,



Aye Calypso the places you've been to,

the things that you've shown us,

the stories you tell

Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit,

the men who have served you so long and so well



Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh

oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee

doo-dle ay ee



Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you

To light up the darkness and show us the way

For though we are strangers in your silent world

To live on the land we must learn from the sea

To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell

Joyful and loving in letting it be



Aye Calypso the places you've been to,

the things that you've shown us,

the stories you tell

Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit,

the men who have served you so long and so well



Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh

oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee

doo-dle ay ee



he dee Ay-ee

Hi dee oh ooo

hi dee ayee

hi dee oh ooo
