Capricorn Moon

 

Hey

I pictured a rainbow

You held it in your hands

I had flashes

But you saw the plan

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

The whole of the moon

You were there in the turnstiles

With the wind at your heels

Struck for the stars, 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 flew the skies

I was dumbfounded by truths

You cut through lies

I saw the rain-dirty valley

You saw Brigadoon

I saw the crescent, hey-hey-hey-hey

You saw the whole of the moon

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)

I spoke about wings (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

You just flew (la-la-la)

I wondered, I guessed, and I tried

You just knew (la-la)

I sighed (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

But you swooned (la-la-la-la)

I saw the crescent (la-la, la)

You saw the whole of the moon (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

The whole of the moon (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

With a torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels

You climbed on the 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, hey

Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers

Trumpets, towers, tenements, oceans full of tears

Flags, rags, ferry boats, scimitars and scarves

Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars

You climbed on the 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

The whole of the moon
