The Waterboys - Winter In The Blood Lyrics
I pictured a rainbowYou held it in your handI had flashes, you saw the planI wandered out in the world for yearsWhile you just stayed in your roomI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moonThe whole of the moonYou were there in the turnstilesWith the wind at your heelsYou stretched for the starsAnd you know how it feelsTo reach too highToo far, too soonYou saw the whole of the moonI was groundedWhile you filled the skiesI was dumbfounded by truthYou cut through liesI saw the rain dirty valleyYou saw BrigadoonI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moonI spoke about wingsYou just flewI wondered, I guessed and I triedYou just knewI sighed and you swoonedI saw the crescentYou saw the whole of the moonThe whole of the moonThe whole of the moonThe torch in your pocketAnd the wind on your heelsYou climbed on a ladderAnd you know how it feelsTo get too highToo far, too soonYou saw the whole of the moonThe whole of the moonPopcorn and cannonballsAll the season's fearsTrumpets, towers and tenementsWide oceans full of tearsFlags, rags, ferryboatsSenators and scarsEvery precious dream and visionUnderneath the starsYes, you climbed on a ladderWith the wind in your sailsYou came like a cometBlazing your trailToo highToo far, too soonYou saw the whole of the moon
