C            G
I pictured a rainbow
C   G                 F
You held it in your hands
         G    F
I had flashes
     G
But you saw the plan
C                       G
I wandered out in the world for years
C      G                        F
While you just stayed in your room
             G
I saw the crescent
F    G                     C
You saw the whole of the moon
G                  C
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

C               G
I spoke about wings
Am         G     
You just flew
      F                      C  Dm 
I wondered I guessed and I tried
G
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
