"Whole Of The Moon" lyrics

"Whole Of The Moon"

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

Ooh, you're 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
Oh, 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 tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
Yeah, 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
