The Whole of the Moon
-----------------------
I pictured a rainbow
You held in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw then plan
I wondered 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 at 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 truths
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!
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You 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 vision
Underneath the stars
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!
Agree with that sentiment 100%. She was drop dead gorgeous 20 years ago, and is most likey still drop dead gorgeous to this date.

By bandypaul [Affiliate User] 1202528878 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveEven though I was 14 in 1980, I mostly disliked the music of the 80s. But Waterboys was certainly an exception. "This is the Sea" is one of my all time favourite albums.

By bonobonner [Affiliate User] 1202279288 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat's Karl Wallenger from World Party on the piano and I don't think it gets more sexily beautiful than Max Edie(yes...great name!)
What's ever become of her?
Cool. Is that Bob Geldoff on piano?
By khunopie [Affiliate User] 1201985510 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI always thought it was about a self aquialization or the singers lack thereof.
By alfatango1 [Affiliate User] 1201900843 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYeah, good too for copping a feel off some bird on the dance floor to at the disco.
By camcording [Affiliate User] 1201878762 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy sentiments exactly.
There is nothing like this today. And that is a damned shame.
BRILLIANT!!!
By BrynMawrYamBag [Affiliate User] 1201714276 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe songs a paradox of existence. The freedom of the mind to go to the limits of imagination and the brigadoon existence where each day is merely a reflection of itself.
