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 Yeah
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
Ooo your 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 high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon
And I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
O You saw «Brigadoon»
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
Yeah
I spoke about wings
You just flew well I wondered
I guessed and I tried
You just knew but 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
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw that whole of the moon
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
God, 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
The whole of the moon
Yeah, you saw the whole of the moon
