I pic-tured a rain-bow

You held in your hands

I had flash-es

But you saw the plan

Verse 1

I wand-ered out in the world for years

While you just stayed in your room

I saw the cres-cent

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon

You were there in the turn-stiles

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

While you filled the skies

I was dumb-found-ed by truths

You cut through lies

I saw the rain-dir-ty val-ley

You saw brig-a-doon I saw the cres-cent

You saw the whole of the moon

I spoke a-bout the wings you just flew

I won-dered, i guessed, and i tried

You just knew I sighed

But you swooned I saw the cres-cent

You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon!

VERSE 2 same as 1

Yes, You climbed on the lad-der

With the wind in your sails

You came like a com-et

Blaz-ing your trail

Too high Too far Too soon

You saw the whole of the moon
