VERSE 2 same as 1
With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the 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

(Spoken)
Unicorns and cannonballs,
Palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenemets,
Wide oceans full of tears,
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
Scimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

 5    6     6    -5  5   5   5
Yes, You climbed on the lad-der

  6   6   6   -5   5    5
With the wind in your sails

 6    6   -5  5  5   5
You came like a com-et
 
  6   -5   5    5
Blaz-ing your trail

 5   -4   5   -4  5   -4
Too high Too far Too soon

 5   5   5    5   -4  4   4
You saw the whole of the moon
