about

In collaboration with Paul Boccaccio

lyrics

The red sky said Callie's coming home
in cruiser, a schooner, a sharp speed boat;
and whether we can find out her port of call
will reckon us cousins or damn us all.
Damn us all

and when we're becalmed far from land
i'll pine for the shallows she tied to the sand
and shimmering shoal of silvered fish
and for Calypso's song giving words to my wish
words to my wish

one of us went mad and lit the fuse
and so we must bear what the madman will choose
and cling to the crates the fire rent
and float away to rage at requirements

She held me like a child in her arms
at silver galley spoke to me without charm—
only low and glad, "My own, sweet friend
why won't you stay in my home like we planned"
Like we planned

I looked out to sea, 'cause how can one say
he rowed out to meet you but met only spray
