Home Lyrics

Hi there, fellow Carbon Leaf fan. Make sure you feel the abrupt change between the
groovier first half of the song and the faster, less syncopated second half. And if at all
get some vocal harmonies for the "whittle away, whittle away" part. Enjoy!

Verse 1:
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 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
Chorus:
Lift away and float it on into space
Into the sublime celestial brine? It's almost time
Verse 2:
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
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
Dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere, breathing in Neptune's chandelier
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
1st Verse & Chorus fast
Outro (still fast):
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
And I am sailing, sailing
Through the light and the gloom of the sun and the moon
Hey, hey moon, I think I figured it out, I think I'm coming about
Now I am sailing, sailing through the light and the gloom
My whole world is in tune and so much clearer now...
