and you know how it feels to reach
F G/F F
too high, too far, too soon,
G/F C
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,

scimitars and scars,

underneath the stars

with the wind in your sails

blazing your trail
