Unicorns and cannonballs

Palaces and piers

Trumpets, towers, and tenements
     SOL/DO
Wide oceans full of tears
FA
Flags, rags, ferry boats
FA/MI
Scimitars and scarves
FA    
Every precious dream and vision
FA/MI
Underneath the stars
         DO
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
         SOL/DO
With the wind in your sails
    DO
You came like a comet
SOL/DO
Blazing your trail
FA
Too high
FA/MI
Too far
FA
Too soon
FA/MI                    DO    SOL/DO   DO   SOL/DO
You saw the whole of the moon...

Classici Rock

The Whole of the Moon è un brano composto e inciso dal gruppo The Waterboys, contenuto nell'album This Is the Sea pubblicato nel 1985. Terzo lavoro in studio per la band scozzese, segna l'ingresso in formazione di Steve Wickham al violino ma anche la dipartita del tastierista Karl Wallinger, in procinto di formare un'altra band. La canzone è il singolo di lancio del disco, un pezzo in puro stile new wave che nasceva osservando il cielo camminando per strada a New York.
