The whole of the moon I saw the crescent I wandered out in the world for years You held it in your hands I had flashes While you just stayed in your room But you saw the plan I pictured a rainbow You saw the whole of the moon |
|
|
|
You stretched for the stars You saw the whole of the moon You were there in the turnstiles And you know how it feels To reach too high Too soon Too far With the wind at your heels |
|
|
|
While you filled the skies I was grounded You saw Brigadoon You saw the whole of the moon You cut through lies I was dumbfounded by truth I saw the crescent I saw the rain dirty valley |
|
|
|
... but you swooned! You just knew You just flew You saw the whole of the moon I saw the crescent The whole of the moon I spoke about wings I sighed I wondered I guessed and I tried |
|
|
|
And you know how it feels The whole of the moon! To get too high You saw the whole of the moon And the wind at your heels Too soon With a torch in your pocket You climbed on the ladder Too far |
|

|
Underneath the stars Flags rags ferryboats Wide oceans full of tears Trumpets towers and tenements Unicorns and cannonballs Every precious dream and vision Scimitars and scarves Palaces and piers |
|
|
|
Yes, you climbed on the ladder Blazing your trail You came like a comet Too high too far too soon You saw the whole of the moon With the wind in your sails |
