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 Ooo your 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 O 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 tenaments Wide oceans full of tears Flags, rags, ferryboats Scimitars and scarves Every precious dream and vision Underneath the stars God, 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
