Harvest Moon lyrics

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 vigour

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

Young people feeling reckless

Old people feeling old

I sense the darkness clearer

I feel a presence here

A change in the weather

I love this time of year

The Colbys 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

Young people feeling reckless

Old people feeling old

I sense the darkness clearer

I feel a presence here

A change in the weather

I love this time of year

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

A change in the weather

I feel some evil here

I hear some frightful noises

I don't go out at night

Since Bobrow's youngest daughter

Disappeared from sight

I know they'll find her someday

They find them all that way

After the thaw in springtime

The snow melts away

I see the days grow shorter

I feel the nights grow cold

Young people feeling restless

Old people feeling old
