NAUSICAA

music & lyrics by:
Dan Edelstein

(inspired by Homer)

The girl waits in vain for Odysseus to return.

*****

i walked the ocean daily
i prayed to every deity
finally the ocean gave me
what it should never take away

you were just like a god
you stepped out from a cloud
but by the first thing you said
i knew i’d never share your bed

couldn’t we possibly be each other’s?
isn’t there a somewhere to be lovers?
why did you have to be for another?
why can’t i come with you as a lover?

i walk back long the ocean
iwatch where your footsteps have been
should i trust the gods of destiny
or throw myself into the sea?

couldn’t we possibly be each other’s?
isn’t there a somewhere to be lovers?
why did you have to be for another?
why can’t I come with you as a lover?
