The Whole Of The Moon |
I pictured a rainbow |
You held it in your hands |
I had flashes |
You saw the plan |
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 the 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 |
The whole of the moon |
The 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 moon |
Popcorn and cannonballs |
All the season’s fears |
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments |
Wide oceans full of tears |
Flags, rags, ferryboats |
Senators and scars |
Every precious dream and vision |
Underneath the stars |
You climbed on a 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 |
