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 |
|
You were there at 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 truths |
|
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 |
|
With a torch in your pocket |
|
And the wind at your heels |
|
You climbed on the ladder |
|
And you know how it feels |
|
To get too high |
|
Too far |
|
Too soon |
|
You saw the whole of the moon |
|
The whole of the moon |
|
Unicorns and cannonballs |
|
Palaces and piers |
|
Trumpets, towers, and tenements |
|
Wide oceans full of tears |
|
Flags, rags, ferry boats |
|
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 far |
|
Too soon |
|
You saw the whole of the moon |
