The Whole Of The Moon

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
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

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

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

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

The torch in your pocket 
And the wind on your heels
You climbed on a ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs 
Palaces and Piers 
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments 
Wide oceans full of tears 
Flags, rags, ferryboats 
Scimitars and scarves 
Every precious dream and vision 
Underneath the stars 
Yes, you climbed on the ladder 
With the wind in your sails 
You came like a comet 
Blazing your trail 
Too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon
