Penelope your tears stain the sheets
Over memories of a lover lost at sea
Like mirrors of an ocean you know is too deep
But crying only serves to keep your eyes from sleep
Penelope you think of the land
Enveloped by waves choking the sand
And holding him you kissed his naïve hand
To be swept away by the wind-washed strand
Yeah
Penelope you don't have to cry
No, you don't have to cry
Penelope, the water runs high
Forming rivers of salt as you lay and cry
For to love in a vacuum is but to die
From the moment you're awake till the moment you hide
Penelope let your dreams come slow
Like the ships that the southern winds blow
From the sea to your empty home
But for now let sleep lay your weary head low
Penelope you don't have to cry
No, you don't have to cry
They thronged about Odysseus and embraced him
And clasped and kissed his head and shoulders
And his hands in loving welcome
And a sweet longing seized him to weep and wail
For in his heart he knew them all
