I lit a light on my gloom
And now there's only a half-moon
I need to find a way home
On the moon to be aloneAnd 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 timeI made it up in my room
From a dream it is rough sewn
(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
(Home, whittle away, whittle away)
Dreaming in Ether, leave atmosphere
Breathing in Neptune's Chandelier
(Home, whittle away, whittle away)Lift away and float it on into space
Into the sublime celestial brine
It's almost time
Time, time, time, time
(Time, time, time, time)I lit a light on my gloom
And now there's only a half-moon
(Home, whittle away, whittle away)
I need to find a way home
Back on the moon to be alone
(Home, whittle away, whittle away)Lift away and float it on into space
Into the sublime celestial brine
It's almost time to ride, alignMelt these hemispheres into one
Dull and shine intertwine
I'm torn away, I'm up and down
It's almost timeNow I am sailing
Sailing through the light and the gloom
Of the sun and the moonI am sailing
Sailing through the light and the gloom
Of the sun and the moonHey, 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
