Blue Oyster Cult Harvest Moon Lyrics

Harvest Moon Lyrics

This place has a history

The Spaniards settled here

They burned the town and fields

And moved away from here

My grandma often told me

She knew it peaceful here

The war took all the vigor

The 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 feeling restless

Old people feeling old

"Harvest moon"

I sense the darkness clearer

I feel the 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 the early snow

They lost their livestock that year

They lost their sheep and goats

They sold the farm in spring time

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 feeling restless

Old people feeling old

"Harvest moon"

I sense the darkness clearer

I feel the presence here

"Harvest moon"

A change in the weather

I love this time of year

"Harvest moon"



Ten years in this farm house

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 the 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 spring time

The snow melts away

"Harvest moon"

I see the days grow shorter

I feel the nights grow cold

"Harvest moon"

Young people feeling restless

Old people feeling old

"Harvest moon"
