Shapeless thing in the wine dark sea Amphitrite's currents bring my love home to me And it's over and over in the brine Just like a man run out of time And I'm crashing in the surf Then I'm lying in the earth Thunderclouds rend the sky
Old Earth-shaker won't be happy till I die Been sitting here, Calypso, nearly seven long years The hour of my release steadily nears And I'm playing on your lyre Then I'm burning in the fire
