Lyrics (Diana Gallagher):

Lunar twilight, dying day.
Shadows linger on as sunlight slowly fades.
Darkness deepens as night is drawn,
And it's so very long until another dawn.

A lunar miner stirs in his converted canister,
Rubs his eyes, and glances at the time
Another day, another shift, tons of rock to dig and lift,
Moving dozers through the shallow lunar mines.
4 a.m. or noon, makes no difference on the Moon,
Clocks are just for keeping schedules defined.

The rugged miners claim a man can go insane,
Seven days of sunshine and seven more to go.
And midnight madness mars the beauty of the stars;
Darkness is forever, Luna turns so very slow.
Then a hundred pairs of eyes are drawn to the skies
Scanning the horizon, anticipating Earthrise.

Eighteen months a tour, lunar miners must endure
Many hardships, for the work is never done
A hundred men, no more, mine a million tons of ore
Every year, to tame the power of the Sun.
But somehow they survive, their spirits kept alive
With hope for the future and a dream of Island One.

Lunar sunrise, darkness wanes.
Cold and gray, dawn crawls across the plain.
Blinding glare glistens on the crater rim
And it's so very long until the sun goes down again
And it's so very long until the sun goes down again
And it's so very long until the sun goes down.
