Jennifer Warnes - The Whole Of The Moon Lyrics
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
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
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
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
The whole of the moon
The torch in your pocket
And the wind on your heels
You climbed on a 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
Popcorn and cannonballs
All the season's fears
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Senators and scars
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
You climbed on a 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

Just one classical song
This is a nope. She tries too hard and as a result wrecks the song.
Better than the Original by The Waterboys

We all see different sides of a complex world. That is why we need to have love and honesty. Love and be true.
Beautiful voice .
A wonderful song! well sung.
From one of the best albums of that decade.
It would be useful if this singer learned to sing.
lol bro, you havin a bad day. go to bed.
Guido -- The late Leonard Cohen would not have used Jennifer Warnes so often on his recordings and live shows if she couldn't sing. Jennifer also has sung on many artists' albums. She sang duets with the Righteous Brothers' Bill Medley and later with the late Joe Cocker (and had hits with those duets).
She is also one of the three female singers in Roy Orbison's Black and White Night -- the other two being k.d. Laing, and Bonnie Raitt.
If you don't like this particular song by Jennifer (which is understandable), maybe her early cover of The Bee Gees' "In the Morning," may sound better.
The Waterboys' songs are not easy to sing. But believe me, Jennifer is an accomplished vocalist -- for decades now. She may be second only to Emmylou Harris as a regularly used backup singer on major recordings.
@John LaStrada There is one with Stevie Ray Vaughn. What a team they would have made! K
Beautiful singer but no soul music here......
Check out Terry Reid and
Mike Scott's original
It would be helpful if you get yr ears checked
Vinnie Colaiuta's drums drive this incredible cover of Jennifer Warnes' "The Whole of the Moon," originally recorded by Mike Scott's "The Waterboys." Both versions are absolutely fabulous.
Oh dear...another Canadian...well Joany Pony will be well pleased! And sure why not!
I think she is a visionary, My partner is like that! Love and give! K
