The Whole Of The Moon...

[slave2484u]

I pictured a rainbow...You held it in your hands
I had flashes...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 were 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 far, 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...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, but you swooned
I saw the crescent...You saw 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 far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags and ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars

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

How did you see the whole of the moon...

No reason.
