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