Transcript

A picture of the rainbow You held it in your hands I had flashes You saw the plan I wandered out in the world for years But you just stayed in your room I saw the crescent

You saw the whole of the moon You will learn the turnstiles for the wind and your heels You stretch all 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 the founded by truth

You cut to lies, I saw a rindered valley You saw a breakdown, I saw a crescent You saw the hole on the roof I spoke about wings You just flew, I wonder, I guess that I tried

You just knew I said But you swooned I saw the present You saw the whole room of you The whole of the moon The torch in your pocket And the wind that's 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 New uniforms and camels, houses and fears It's sharp as towers and talents, white ashes for tears It flags, lights, fairy boats, cinnabers and scars Every precious dream and vision, underneath the stars Yes, you climb all night long

Well the wind in your sails, you came like a cart To bazing your trail too high, too far, too soon You saw the whole moon You
