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