I pictured a rainbow
you held in your hands
I had flashes
but you saw then plan
I wondered 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 at 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 truths
you cut through lies
I saw the rain-dirty valley
you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon!
Instr. Break:
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
and the wind at your heels
You climbed on the 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!
Hey, yeah!
Unicorns and cannonballs,
palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenements,
wide oceans full of tears,
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
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 far, too soon,
you saw the whole of the moon!
