The Whole Of The Moon Lyrics - The Hunter - Jennifer Warnes

(Mike Scott) 

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
