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