I pictured a rainbow
  You held it in your hands
  I had flashes
  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
  
  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
  But you swooned
  I saw the crescent
  You saw the whole of the moon
  The whole of the moon
  The whole of the moon
  
  The torch in your pocket
  And 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
  The whole of the moon
  
  Popcorn and cannonballs
  All the season's fears
  Trumpets, towers, and tenaments
  Wide oceans full of tears
  Flags, rags, ferryboats
  Senators and scars
  Every precious dream and vision
  Underneath the stars
  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
