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'
