Stands and gears, oh how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There's an underwater Ferris wheel where
I found the missing link to this island chain
Home will always be here unseen, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach
Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
I'll spread my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There's an underwater Ferris wheel where
I found the missing link to this island chain
Home will always be here unseen, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach
Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
I'll spread my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

"Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight, where I disappear and hide" means to me that the speaker is embarking on some kind of trip that will take him to far places, and yet he can always rely on this place to be somewhere safe, where he can rest.
"And I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye, so I'll spread out my wings and fly" seems to say that the singer is a child that understands that he has to leave one day. However, he will always have fond memories of the place, and when he spreads his wings he will "fly" and make a new path for himself.
But in the end... he'll never forget home, no matter how far it is.
1. The first line is 'stems and gears', not 'sands and gears'. Other than that the lyrics seem to be correct.
2. As far as I can tell, the song is either meaningless innocent surrealism or it's talking about a place to go and be in peace when life is confusing and scary ("Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain/There's an underwater Ferris wheel/Where I found the missing link to this island chain"). He's probably talking about heaven/being in God's grace, but those who have a problem with religion can take it any way they want.
I can really relate to it , because i do the same thing.
This place really feels a home because, you feel great because you are working on something you always dreamed about . You also return to it when you feel down or hurt ( I do , anyway )
Because this place is so important , it should remain unseen , out of sight .
Any project you are working on is for your eyes only , at least until it's finished.
To me , there is not much sad about this song : it's about dreaming about creating something , and working to achieve this. It's beautiful.
The downside of this , is that by focusing to much on it , you lose track of the people you love . This is shown in the video , where you see someone waiting to eat for him ,and eventually she eats alone because he's busy on his projects.
But that's just me.
either
"Home will always be here on the scenery' side"
or
"Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight" (I think its this one)
