JOHN DENVER Calypso lyrics

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 the living
In search of the answers
To questions unknown

To be part of the movement
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

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
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

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

Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh
Oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee
Doo-dle ay ee

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
