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