Songtext The whole of the moon Scouting For Girls

The whole of the moon

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
And 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
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

With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on that 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
And palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers, tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, sailing boats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

Yes, 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
