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