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