The Whole of the Moon

I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
Too high, too far, too soon
Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars

I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon

I wondered I guessed and I tried, you just knew

You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels
You saw the whole of the moon
You were there in the turnstiles with the wind at your heels
Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears
I spoke about wings you just flew
I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through lies
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels
I wandered out in the world for years while you just stayed in your room
To reach too high, too far, too soon

You saw the whole of the moon
You stretched for the starts and you know how it feels
To get too high, too far, too soon
Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitars and scarves
I sighed and you swooned
The whole of the moon
Yes, you climbed on the ladder with the wind in your sails
You came like a comet, blazing your trail

You saw the whole of the moon, the whole of the moon, hey yeah

I saw the rain dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon
The whole of the moon
I was grounded while you filled the skies
