The Whole Of The Moon Lyrics - This Is The Sea - Waterboys

I pictured a rainbow 

you held it in your hands 

I had flashes 

but you saw then 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 at 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 truths 

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! 

Photos 

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, 

Flag, rags, ferry boats, 

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!
