The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon
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 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 
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
