Letra Harvest moon Blue Öyster Cult

Harvest moon

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"
