Karaoké The Whole of the Moon The Waterboys

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

Ooh 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

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 hey yeah

With the wind in your sails

Unicorns and cannonballs palaces and piers

With the wind at your heels

You stretched for the stars

Trumpets towers and tenements and you know how it feels

Wide oceans full of tears flags rags ferry boats

To get too high too far, too soon 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

Ooh ooh

Oh, oh

How did you see the whole of the moon
