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