The Whole Of The Moon

Lyrics

[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 stretched for the stars and you know how it feels To reach too high, too far, too soon You saw the whole of the moon [Verse 2] I was grounded While you filled the skies I was dumbfounded by truth You cut through lies I saw the rain dirty valley You saw Brigadoon I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon Hey, yeah [Verse 3] I spoke about wings You just flew I wondered, I guessed, and I tried You just knew I sighed And you swooned I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon Hey, yeah [Chorus] With a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels To get too high, too far, too soon You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon Hey, yeah [Verse 4] Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers Trumpets, towers, tenements Wide oceans full of tears Flags, rags, ferryboats Scimitars and scarves Every precious dream and vision Underneath the stars [Chorus] Yeah, you climbed on the ladder With the wind in your sails You came like a comet Blazing your trail Too high, too far, too soon You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon Hey, yeah Whole of the moon Hey, yeah
