Calypso by Suzanne Vega Song Info
A folksy, mystical rendition about Calypso, the nymph who wanted to keep Odysseus from leaving her. He was on his way back to Ithaca from Troy, where he helped the Greeks defeat the Trojans. He was on Calypso's island for seven years before Zeus ordered Calypso to free him. She, however, tried to take credit for allowing him to go.
