Jennifer Warnes The Whole Of The Moon
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
You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
Just 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
Now it's ground while you filled the skies
I was dumb founded by truth, you cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley, oh, 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 what I sighed
But you swooned, I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon, the whole of the moon
The torch in your pocket
The wind on your heels
You climbed on a ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon, whole of the moon
Unicorns and cannon balls, palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments, wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitar's and scarves
Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars
Yeah, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Oh, too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon, whole of the moon, yeah
Did you see the whole of the moon?
