[Verse]
CI pictured a rGainbow
Cyou hCeld in your hands
FI had fGlashes
Fbut Gyou saw then plan
CI wondered out in the Gworld for years
Cwhile Gyou just stayed in your rFoom
I saw the crescGent F
Gyou saw the whole of the mCoon!
GThe whole of the Fmoon!C
[Verse]
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!
[Verse]
I was grGounded
Cwhile Gyou filled the skies
FI was dumbfoGunded by truths F
Gyou cut through lies
CI saw the rain-dirty vGalley C
Gyou saw Brigadoon

[Verse]
With a tCorch 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, yGeah!
[Verse]
CUnicorns and cannonballs,
Gpalaces and piers,
CTrumpets, towers, and tenements,
wide Goceans full of tears,
FFlag, 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! G
