For want of an island made of light
I'd brave the perilous pit of the sky
Watchsmith, lift your crystal lens on high
Feet dragging through the passage of time
Oh my, my shy one, would you give me a sign?
For lack of any pull, I am your tide
Lashing and thrashing at the foot of the spire
Watchman, I pray ya hang your lantern high
From the zenith like a fountain of light
Oh my, my shy one, would you give me a sign?
Through the watches, weighing the moon
Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Ma
Silver-tongued, and sweetly my Luna, singing "over to my way"
Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai
Ever a fool to play the wise
I see there's nothing escaping your ides
You're my quarry, baby you're my prize
Oh, I couldn't catch ya not to save my life
So fresh from the furnace like glowing diamond
My, my shy one, would you give me a sign?
Through the watches, weighing the moon
Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Ma
Silver-tongued, and sweetly my Luna, singing "over to my way"
Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai
Ovah-Tu-Mawai
Ovah-Tu-Mawai
Ovah-Tu-Mawai
Ovah-Tu-Mawai
Ovah-Tu-Mawai
Through the watches, weighing the moon
Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Mawai, Ovah-Tu-Ma
Silver-tongued, and sweetly my Luna, singing "over to my way"
