I picture a rainbow
You held it
in your hands
I have flashes
You saw
the cloud
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 a 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!
With a torch
in your pocket
with 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
Unicorns and cannonballs
palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers
tenements
wide oceans
full of tears
Flags, rags
ferry boats
scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream
and vision
underneath the stars
You climbed
on the ladder
with the wind
in your sails
You came like a comet
blazing your trail
when you're too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the
whole of the moon!
The whole
of the moon
The whole
of the moon
