Glow Worm |
Up the snowy spires |
Where the air is thick as glass |
Once a year the cold mist clears |
You can see inside the earth |
High in that crystal palace |
I ve built a sailing ship |
Mastered wheel of polished brass |
Sails of gold and silk |
I pyte the engine steam |
I set for long citations |
I consulted dusty maps |
Said careful, care the glaciers |
Never in, we re never in |
Hearing through my scope |
I sail deep into the hollows |
Deep inside the earth |
I travelled a boiling river |
Through streams of mercury |
Under these volcanoes |
And the roots of ancient trees |
Underneath stalactites |
I lit phosphorous lamps |
Sparks snapped into the air |
And coiled up the mist |
I watched enormous birds |
Diving through the slate |
As I stood upon the ground |
In my oil skin cap and cape |
At last, my anchor caught |
And echoed through the stone |
As I climbed and old broke ladder |
Pile through the globe |
And up above I saw it |
A glow worm s little light |
And I reached out and caught it |
In the center of the night |
Tightly in my fist |
I held that glowing worm |
Deep down in the hollows |
I held the center of the world |
