Description:
The Whole of the Moon-----------------------I pictured a rainbowYou held in your handsI had flashesBut you saw then planI wondered out in the world for yearsWhile you just stayed in your roomI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moon!The whole of the moon!You were there at the turnstilesWith the wind at your heelsYou stretched for the starsAnd you know how it feelsTo reach too highToo farToo soonYou saw the whole of the moon!I was groundedWhile you filled the skiesI was dumbfounded by truthsYou cut through liesI saw the rain-dirty valleyYou saw brigadoonI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moon!I spoke about wingsYou just flewI wondered, I guessed, and I triedYou just knewI sighedBut you swoonedI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moon!The whole of the moon!With a torch in your pocketAnd the wind at your heelsYou climbed on the ladderAnd you know how it feelsTo reach too highToo farToo soonYou saw the whole of the moon!The whole of the moon!Unicorns and cannonballs,Palaces and piers,Trumpets, towers, and tenemets,Wide oceans full of tears,Flag, rags, ferry boats,Scimitars and scarves,Every precious dream and visionUnderneath the starsYou climbed on the ladderWith the wind in your sailsYou came like a cometBlazing your trailToo highToo farToo soonYou saw the whole of the moon!

Apr 29, 2012 - The idea I get of it is that it's a song of admiration, but with a tragic note in it. He talks of someone who did everything better than he did, but "too far, too soon", kind of like a fallen genius who fell to drugs or personality issues.

May 5, 2012 - I think this song is about people in relationships having different expectations from life. You know, glass half-full/ half-empty kind of thing.

May 6, 2012 - i always kinda knew this song for years but i only just took the time to listen to it yesterday. beautiful. so beautiful in fact that when i woke up with a hangover today barely able to open my encrusted eyes or dry mouth, i immediately remembered this song and got up just to listen to this. their singer has an awesome voice and cool hair (which he still has today).

May 25, 2012 - Loved this band since I first heard them in the early 80s. Saw them live in Canada - great show. This is an excellent video and concert version of this most magical and beautiful song. Thank you for posting it.

May 25, 2012 - I spoke about wingsYou just flewI wondered, I guessed, and I triedYou just knewWow....this is such a powerful song. I have loved it since the first time I heard it in 1985. It is sad what passes for music and talent today, but there was a time when music mattered and was very smart such as in this case. What a masterpiece.
