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