Sun to set, to herald the arrival of my moon,
Prepare my vessel for an odyssey, scrapes and all;
Best be on my way, best be soon...
Done this a hundred times come every nightfall.
The time is now, it's time to finally drift away,
Let go of all worldly trepidations,
Hold all unfounded apprehensions at bay...
Be brave to pursue fantastical notions
This journey ahead, I want to immortalize,
Don't think I'd ever want to turn back;
Leave behind the pillow stifled cries...
With the moon as my guide across an ocean of black.
Like Odysseus, I shall face sirens of my own kind,
Temptations like the Lotus will call me;
My vessel will not be rerouted by the wind...
As long as it’s just my moon and me upon this ever darkening sea.

Sun to set, to herald the arrival of my moon,
Prepare my vessel for an odyssey, scrapes and all;
Best be on my way, best be soon...
Done this a hundred times come every nightfall.
The time is now, it's time to finally drift away,
Let go of all worldly trepidations,
Hold all unfounded apprehensions at bay...
Be brave to pursue fantastical notions
This journey ahead, I want to immortalize,
Don't think I'd ever want to turn back;
Leave behind the pillow stifled cries...
With the moon as my guide across an ocean of black.
Like Odysseus, I shall face sirens of my own kind,
Temptations like the Lotus will call me;
My vessel will not be rerouted by the wind...
As long as it’s just my moon and me upon this ever darkening sea.
