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
You just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon
You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
You know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded
While you filled the sky
I was dumbfounded by truths
You cut through lies
I saw the rain-dirty valley
And you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon
I spoke about wings
Where 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
You saw the whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
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
You saw the whole of the moon
Unicorns and cannonballs
And palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers, and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferry boats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
Came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon
