a friend of mine loaned me a waterboys cd this week. i forgot how much i like their beautiful irish-tinged music. i avoided the waterboys for a long time because this obnoxious girl i used to work with talked about them constantly. rejection by association occured. thank goodness i got over it.

here are the lyrics to one of their most beautiful slow songs:

"the whole of the moon"

i pictured a rainbow

you held it in your hands

i had flashed

but you saw the plan

i wandered out in the world for years

while you just stayed in your room

i saw the crescent

you saw the whole of the moon

you were there in 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 truth

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!

unicorns and cannonballs

palaces and piers

trumpets, towers and tenements

wide oceans full of tears

flags, rags, ferryboats

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
