The Whole Of The Moon Lyrics
I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
You saw the planI 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 moonYou were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feelsTo reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moonI was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through liesI saw the rain dirty valley
You saw "Brigadoon"
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moonI spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighedBut you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
The whole of the moonThe 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 moonPopcorn and cannonballs
All the season's fears
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments
Wide oceans full of tearsFlags, rags, ferryboats
Senators and scars
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the starsYou climbed on a ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trailToo high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
