Whole of the Moon Songtext

von Paul Greene

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I saw flashes
You saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
You just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded
While you touched the sky
Was dumbfounded by truths, while
You saw pure lies
I saw the grey dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
Whole of the moon

You were there at the turnstiles
With the world at your feet
You reached for the stars
And you know how it feels
To get too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
Whole of the moon

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
While you swooned
And I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

You were there at the turnstiles
With the world at your feet
You reached for the stars
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
Whole of the moon

You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
And you know what it means
To get too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
Whole of the moon
Whole of the moon
