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 You're there in the turnstiles With the wind at your heels They're 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 Now it's grounded While you filled the skies I was confounded by truth You caught the light I saw the rain, dirty valley You saw break the doom 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, well I sighed But you assumed I saw the crescent You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon With the torch in your pocket With the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder You know how it feels to reach too high Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon Whole of the moon Unicorns and cannonballs Pilasters and gears Trumpets, towers and tenements Wide oceans full of tears Flags, rags, ferryboats Scimitars and scarves Every precious dream and vision Underneath the stars Yeah, you climbed on the ladder With the wind in your sails You came like a comet Blazing your trail to heights Too far Too soon You saw the whole of the moon Whole of the moon Oh, oh, oh How did you see the whole of the moon? *
