The Whole Moon
Mike Scott
I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
You saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room

You saw the whole of the moon

While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
