I lit a light on my gloom...
and now there's only a half-moon
i need to find a way home
back on the moon to be alone
and so we make our way
through the sand of a sullen day
(whittle away....whittle away)
dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere
breathing in neptune's chandelier
(whittle away...whittle away...)
lift away and float it on into space
into the sublime celestial brine
it's almost time...
i made it up in my room
from a dream it is rough hewn
(home...whittle away...whittle away...)
i make a vessel for home
carve it out with a gemstone
(home...whittle away...whittle away...)
land of sorrow sift away
through the sand of a sullen day
dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere
breathing in neptune's chandelier
(home...whittle away...whittle away...)
[chorus]
...it's almost time to ride. align
melt these hemispheres into one
dull and shine intertwine
i'm torn away, i'm up and down
it's almost time....
now i am sailing...
sailing through the light and the gloom
of the sun and the moon
hey moon, i think i figured it out
i think i'm coming about
through the light and the gloom
my whole world is in tune and
so much clearer now
