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