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