|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
The whole of the moon |
|
The whole of the moon |
|
The torch in your pocket |
|
And the wind on your heels |
|
You climbed on a ladder |
|
And you know how it feels |
|
To reach too high |
|
Too far Too soon |
|
You saw the whole of the moon |
|
The whole of the moon |
|
Popcorn and cannonballs |
|
All the season's fears |
|
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments |
|
Wide oceans full of tears |
|
Flags, rags, ferryboats |
|
Senators and scars |
|
Every precious dream and vision |
|
Underneath the stars |
|
You climbed on a 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 |
