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