The whole of the moon lyrics

Artist  : Waterboys 
Song : The whole of the moon
 
(Mike Scott) 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 you were there in the
turnstiles with the wind at your heels you
stretched for the starts 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 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 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 comet blazing your trail
too high too far too soon you saw the whole of the
moon
