The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon (Lyrics)

Описание: 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

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.
