Intro

Verse 1

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!

Verse 2

 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!

Verse 3

 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:

Bridge

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!

Verse 4

 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!

Verse 5

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!
