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

you saw

the whole of the moon

the whole of the moon

Mmm, 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 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

and 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 get too high

too far

too soon

you saw

the whole of the moon

the whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs

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

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

Oh-oh-oh

did you see

the whole of the moon...
