Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitars and scarves
I wondered I guessed and I tried, you just knew
The whole of the moon
With a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels
Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears
Yes, you climbed on the ladder with the wind in your sails
You saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded while you filled the skies
The whole of the moon
To reach too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels
I saw the rain dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
To get too high, too far, too soon
Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
You came like a comet, blazing your trail
Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars
I wandered out in the world for years while you just stayed in your room
I spoke about wings you just flew
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
You were there in the turnstiles with the wind at your heels
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon, the whole of the moon, hey yeah
Too high, too far, too soon
You stretched for the starts and you know how it feels
I sighed and you swooned
I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through lies
