The Whole of the Moon versuri

The Whole of the Moon lyrics by Karine Polwart

Verse 1
I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
You saw the plans
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
You saw the whole of the moon

Chorus
You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
You know how it feels
To reach too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon

Verse 2
I was grounded
While you filled the sky
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
And you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon

Verse 3
I spoke about wings
But you just flew
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
You just knew, I sighed
You swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon

Chorus
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
You know how it feels
To reach too high (Too high), too far (Too far), too soon (Too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon

Bridge
Unicorns and cannonballs
And palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

Chorus
You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
Came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high (Too high), too far (Too far), too soon (Too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon
You saw the whole of the moon

Outro
You saw the whole of the moon
