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

Ooou, you were there in the turnstiles
w'th the wind at your heels
ya' reached...
too high (too hight)
too far (too far)
too soon (too soon)
you saw the whole of the moon
n' I was grounded
whild you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
you cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
Oh, you saw "Brigadoon"
...I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon

Yeah

I spoke about wings
you just flew
w'll I wondered,
I guessed
and I tried
you just knew
w'll I sighed
...but you swooned

I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon
the whole of the moon

the torch in your pocket
'n the wind at your heels
you climbed on the ladder
'n y'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
whole of the moon

unicorns and cannonballs
palaces 'n piers
trumpets, towers, and tenaments
wide oceans full of tears
flags, rags, ferryboats
scimitars 'n 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
too high (too high)
oh, too far (too far)
too soon (too soon)

you saw the whole of the moon
whole of the moon
yeah, you saw the whole of the moon
