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