The Whole Of The Moon (Live At Radio City Music Hall)

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] I love you, New York City [Verse 1] I pictured a rainbow You held it in your hands I had flashes But you saw the plan I wandered out in the world for years While you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon [Chorus] You were there in the turnstiles With the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder God, you know what it means To be too high Too far, too soon You saw the whole of the moon [Verse 2] I was grounded You stretched toward the sky I was dumbfounded by truth You cut through the lies I saw the rain dirty valley You saw Brigadoon I saw the crescent Hey! You saw the whole of the moon [Chorus] With a torch in your pocket And the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder God, you know how it feels To be too high Too far, too soon You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon [Bridge] Unicorns and cannonballs Palaces and piers Trumpets towers and tenements Wide oceans full of tears Flags rags ferryboats Scimitars and scarves Every precious dream you've had Underneath the stars [Chorus] Yes, you climbed on the ladder With the wind at your heels You came like comet Blazing your trail All too high, too far, too soon You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon The whole of the moon
