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