CI pictured a Grainbow, Cyou Gheld it in your hands
FI had Gflashes, Fbut Gyou saw the plan
CI wandered out in the Gworld for yearsC
while Gyou just stayed in your Froom
I saw the crescentG, FGyou saw the whole of the Cmoon!G
The whole of the Fmoon!G
You were Cthere at the turnstiles, with the Gwind at your heels
You Cstretched for the stars, and you Gknow how it feels to reach
Ftoo high, Gtoo far, Ftoo soon, Gyou saw the whole of the Cmoon!
I was grouGnded, Cwhile Gyou filled the skies
FI was dumbfoGunded by truths, FGyou cut through lies
CI saw the rain-dirty Gvalley, CGyou saw Brigadoon
FI saw the crescenGt, FGyou saw the whole of the Cmoon!

CI spoke about wingsG, AmGyou just flew
I Fwondered, I guessed, and I triCed, DmGyou just knew
CI sighed, GCand Gyou swooned, I Fsaw the crescentGF
Gyou saw the whole of the Cmoon, GThe whole of the Fmoon!G
With a Ctorch in your pocket, and the Gwind at your heels
You Cclimbed on the ladder, and you Gknow how it feels to reach
Ftoo high, Gtoo far, Ftoo soon, Gyou saw the whole of the Cmoon!
GThe whole of the Fmoon, Hey, Gyeah!
CUnicorns and cannonballs, Gpalaces and piers,
CTrumpets, towers, and tenements, wide Goceans full of tears,
FFlags, rags, ferry boats, Gscimitars and scarves,
FEvery precious dream and vision, Gunderneath the stars
Yes, you Cclimbed on the ladder, with the Gwind in your sails
You Ccame like a comet, Gblazing your trail
FToo high, Gtoo far, Ftoo soon, Gyou saw the whole of the Cmoon!
