Waterboys : The whole of the moon




 
 1986
PerformerWaterboys
TitleThe whole of the moon
Lyrictext

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

Mmm, 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

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew

I sighed
And you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon
(The whole of the moon)

With the 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

Unicorns and cannonballs (You were there in the center)
Policies and fears (With the wind at your heels)
Trumpets, towers, and tenements (You stretched for the stars)
Wide oceans full of tears (And you know how it feels)

Flags, rags, ferryboats (To get too high)
Senators and scars (Too far)
Every precious dream and vision (Too soon)
Underneath the stars

Yes, you climbed on a 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

Oooh

Aha, after you've seen the whole of the moon
