The Whole Of The Moon - Radio Edit

I pictured the 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 stayed in your room

I saw the present

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

You were there as it turns out

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 present

You saw the whole of the moon

I spoke about wings

You just flew

I wondered, I guessed and I cried

You just knew

I sighed

But you swooned

I saw the present

You saw the whole of the moon

Hey yeah

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

Calluses and pins

Trumpets, cows and tenements

White oceans full of tears

Black rags, fairy boats

Cymbalism scars

Every precious dream and vision

Underneath the stars

Yeah, you climbed on the ladder

With the wind at your sails

You came like a comet

Leaving your trail

Too high

Too far

Too soon

You saw the whole of the moon

How on earth did you see the whole of the moon?
