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 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,
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.
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.
The Waterboys.
