The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon (Lyrics)

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 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) With a torch in your pocket And the wind at your heels You climbed on the ladder And you know how it feels To get too high Too far too soon You saw the whole of the moon The whole of the moon Hey, yeah Unicorns and cannonballs (You were there in the turnstiles) Palaces and piers (With the wind at your heels) Trumpets towers and tenements (You stretched for the stars) Wide oceans full of tears (And you know how it feels) Flags, rags, ferryboats (To get too high) Scimitars and scarves (To far) Every precious dream and vision (Too soon) Underneath the stars Written by Mike Scott Please, please, please subscribe to Songs With Lyrics channel and help us grow.

Taken in Silverthorne, United States. It’s amazing to see the moving city and cars while also seeing the milkyway. It wasn’t as hard to get this shoot as it seems. Like a lot of things it really just needed a lot of patience (2 hours worth). Worth it.
