Items
While you just stayed in your room
I wandered out in the world for years
The whole of the moon
I saw the crescent
You held it in your hands
But you saw the plan
I pictured a rainbow
You saw the whole of the moon
I had flashes
 
With the wind at your heels
Too far
Too soon
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
You saw the whole of the moon
You were there in the turnstiles
To reach too high
 
You saw the whole of the moon
I was dumbfounded by truth
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I was grounded
You cut through lies
While you filled the skies
I saw the crescent
 
I sighed
... but you swooned!
The whole of the moon
I spoke about wings
You just knew
You saw the whole of the moon
You just flew
I saw the crescent
I wondered I guessed and I tried
 
To get too high
You saw the whole of the moon
You climbed on the ladder
With a torch in your pocket
The whole of the moon!
And you know how it feels
Too soon
And the wind at your heels
Too far
 
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Palaces and piers
Unicorns and cannonballs
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags rags ferryboats
Trumpets towers and tenements
Underneath the stars
 
Too high too far too soon
Blazing your trail
You came like a comet
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
You saw the whole of the moon
With the wind in your sails
