The Whole of the Moon – The 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 tenements,

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!

Everything You Want – Vertical Horizon

Somewhere there’s speaking

It’s already coming in

Oh and it’s rising at the back of your mind

You never could get it

Unless you were fed it

Now you’re here and you don’t know why

But under skinned knees and the skid marks

Past the places where you used to learn

You howl and listen

Listen and wait for the

Echoes of angels who won’t return

[Chorus]

He’s everything you want

He’s everything you need

He’s everything inside of you

That you wish you could be

He says all the right things

At exactly the right time

But he means nothing to you

And you don’t know why

You’re waiting for someone

To put you together

You’re waiting for someone to push you away

There’s always another wound to discover

There’s always something more you wish he’d say

[Chorus]

But you’ll just sit tight

And watch it unwind

It’s only what you’re asking for

And you’ll be just fine

With all of your time

It’s only what you’re waiting for

Out of the island

Into the highway

Past the places where you might have turned

You never did notice

But you still hide away

The anger of angels who won’t return

[Chorus]

I am everything you want

I am everything you need

I am everything inside of you

That you wish you could be

I say all the right things

At exactly the right time

But I mean nothing to you and I don’t know why

And I don’t know why

Why

I don’t know

Trance Atlantic Flight – Utah Saints

Higher Ground – UB40

And every hour of every day i`m learning more

the more I learn, the less I know about before

the less I know, the more I want to look aroud

digging deep for clues on higher ground…

Moon and stars sit way up high

Earth and trees beneath them lie

the wind blows fragrant lullaby

to cool the night for you and I

on the wing the birds fly free

Leviathan tames angry sea

the flower waits for honeybee

the sunrise wakes new life in me

CHORUS

the fishes swim while the river run

thru fields to feast my eyes upon

intoxicated drinking from

the loving cup of burning sun

in dreams I´ll crave familiar taste

of whispered rain on weary face

of kisses sweet and warm embrace

another time another place

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Destination Moon – Dinah Washington

Come and take a trip in my rocket ship

We’ll have a lovely afternoon

Kiss the world goodbye and away we fly

Destination moon

Travel fast as light ‘til we’re lost from sight

The earth is like a toy balloon

What a thrill you get ridin’ on a jet

Destination moon

We’ll go up up up up

Straight to the moon we two

High in the starry blue

I’ll be out of this world with you

So away we steal in a spacemobile

A supersonic honeymoon

Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let’s go!

Destination moon

There once was a time when the colorful thing to do

Was to call for a date on a bicycle built for two

But cars and trains and even planes

All have had their day

Now the time is due to call for you

In the modern atomic way

We’ll go up up up up

Straight to the moon we two

High in the starry blue

I’ll be out of this world with you

So away we steal in a spacemobile

A supersonic honeymoon

Leave your cares below, pull the switch, let’s go!

Destination moon
