Lyrics
Harvest Moon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This place has a history
The Spaniards settled here
They burned the town and fields
They moved away from here
My grandma often told me
She knew it peaceful here
The war took all the vigor
War took the best from here
When the wind turns
And blows the leaves from the trees
(Harvest moon)
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold (Harvest moon)
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old (Harvest moon)
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here (Harvest moon)
A change in the weather
I love this time of year (Harvest moon)
The Cobys worked that valley
They gave that land a go
They built a thriving business
Then came that early snow
They lost their livestock that year
They lost their sheep and goats
They sold the farm in springtime
Went south to work the boats
When the wind turns
And blows the leaves from the trees
(Harvest moon)
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold (Harvest moon)
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old (Harvest moon)
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here (Harvest moon)
A change in the weather
I love this time of year (Harvest moon)
Ten years in this farmhouse
Ten years come this May
My simple needs are covered
Since grandma passed away
Long time since there's been trouble
That's what the people say
I told the new man when I
Sold the farm today
When the wind turns
And blows the leaves from the trees
(Harvest moon)
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here (Harvest moon)
A change in the weather
I feel some evil here (Harvest moon)
I hear some frightful noises
I don't go out at night (Harvest moon)
Since Bobrow's youngest daughter
Disappeared from sight (Harvest moon)
I know they'll find her some day
They find them all that way (Harvest moon)
After the thaw in springtime
The snow melts away (Harvest moon)
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold (Harvest moon)
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old (Harvest moon)
