Lyrics
Day after day my husband strays;
trapped on a Goddess' land.
And rampant are these hounds that bay
for me to take their hand.
But, I think less of my own pain,
than I do of him and how he fares;
under the temptation of immortal games,
with which she has him there ensnared.
Woah, come back home.
Calypso's got you and you're all alone.
Seven years have come and gone.
Come back home where you belong.
I think of her and her life,
of misguided power.
That which holds us both in strife,
Apart at such an infinite hour.
What does she wish to gain from him,
that motivates her evil schemes?
A long, drawn-out, passing whim ?
She does not hear his homesick screams.
Woah, come back home.
Calypso's got you and you're all alone.
Seven years have come and gone.
Come back home where you belong.
Why will she not let him free?
To make his journey back to me?
Return to Penelope?
Leave behind Calypso's intrigue?
Day after day Odyseus strays,
trapped upon a Goddess' land.
And, rampant are these hounds that bay,
for me to take their hand.
Woah, come back home.
Calypso's got you and you're all alone.
Seven years have come and gone.
Come back home where you belong.
Woah, come back home.
Calypso's got you and you're all alone.
Seven years have come and gone.
Come back home where you belong.
