The Whole Of The Moon

I pictured a rainbow, you held it in your hands

I had flashes but you saw then plan

I wandered out in the world for years while you just stayed in your room

I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

You were there in the turnstiles with the wind at your heels

You stretched for the starts and you know how it feels

To reach too high, too far, too soon

You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded while you filled the skies

I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through lies

I saw the rain dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon

I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon

I spoke about wings you just flew

I wondered I guessed and I tried, you just knew

I sighed and you swooned

I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

With a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels

You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels

To get too high, too far, too soon

You saw the whole of the moon, the whole of the moon, hey yeah

Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers

Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears

Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitars and scarves

Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars

Yes, you climbed on the ladder with the wind in your sails

You came like a comet, blazing your trail

Too high, too far, too soon

You saw the whole of the moon

Oh, how [Incomprehensible] did you see the whole of the moon
