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 Yeah
You saw the whole of the moon 
The whole of the moon 

Ooo your 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 high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon 

And I was grounded 
While you filled the skies 
I was dumbfounded by truth 
You cut through lies 
I saw the rain dirty valley 
O You saw "Brigadoon" 
I saw the crescent 
You saw the whole of the moon 
Yeah

I spoke about wings 
You just flew well I wondered
I guessed and I tried 
You just knew but I sighed 
but you swooned 
I saw the crescent 
You saw the whole of the moon 
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 reach too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw that whole of the moon 
Whole of the moon 

Unicorns and cannonballs 
Palaces and Piers 
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments 
Wide oceans full of tears 
Flags, rags, ferryboats 
Scimitars and scarves 
Every precious dream and vision 
Underneath the stars 
God, you climbed on the ladder 
With the wind in your sails 
You came like a comet 
Blazing your trail 
Too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon 
Yeah, you saw the whole of the moon
