    Story Behind the Song
    "Gibbous Moon" refers to that stage of the moon that is nearly, but not quite, full. During a certain period in my life, it became a metaphor for unrealized potential, of the frustrations that attended always feeling that I was "almost" there-wherever "there" happened to be at the time. Now I tend to feel that these stages of (apparent) incompleteness are an intrinsic part of growing and developing as a human being.

    Lyrics
    Gibbous moon up in the sky
    when I was born, and when I die
    I sleep all night and I sleep all day
    until that gibbous moon goes away

    I am almost happy
    I almost made the honor roll
    I am almost good and I am almost brave
    I could almost love you
    I almost won the lottery
    I almost got out of bed to do some work today

    Gibbous moon, etc.

    I am almost ready
    for some kind of commitment
    for some kind of action
    that would start me off today
    I almost became a superstar
    with a lawyer and accountant
    but I could almost hear
    what everyone would say

    Gibbous moon, etc.

    I am almost sorry
    that I never do anything
    but I decided it was better to pretend
    I almost wrote a pop song
    about the way I almost feel
    but I knew it wouldn't help me in the end

    Gibbous moon, etc.
