THE WHOLE OF THE MOON
Waterboys

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!

Felicidade? P'ra mim é ser boa lembrança de alguém
Vejo o sol nascer, morrer e nascer de novo. Todos os dias.
Assim, aprendendo.
E tem a lua. Que brilha como se fosse fácil.
A fortiori ab aeterno.
