I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hand
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


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 high)

Too far (too far)
Too soon (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

Yeah

I spoke about wings

You just flew I wondered
I guessed and I tried
You just knew and I sighed

And you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon
The whole of the moon


The torch in your pocket
And the wind on your heels
You climbed on the ladder

And you know how it feels
To get too high (too high)
Too far (too far)

Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon
The 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

Yes, 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
