Biography:
The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.

you saw the whole of the moon!

Unicorns and cannonballs,

palaces and piers,
C
Trumpets, towers, and tenements,
G/C
wide oceans full of tears,
F
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
G/F
scimitars and scarves,
F
Every precious dream and vision
G/F
underneath the stars
C
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
G/C
with the wind in your sails
C
You came like a comet
G/C
blazing your trail
F G/F F
Too high, too far, too soon,
G/F C G/C
you saw the whole of the moon!
