Lyrics
Harvest moon
The full moon`s on the rising
We`ll work nights in its glow
Hand in hand side by side
Your eyes look different tonite
I`m in your orbit
Save and well and far away
Laughin` and drinkin`
Sleeping in the hay
Chorus:
Harvest moon, shine your light
Harvest moon, from dusk to dawn
Harvest moon, don't leave too soon
Harvest moon, shine on us tonite
We`re tired but we`re lovers
Your sweet smell`s surrounding me
Your blistered hands in mine
The envious moon turns pale
Our bodies in splendor and light
I`ve told you all my dreams tonite
Our hearts soon will break in two
But I'll give my half to you
Chorus
Bridge:
Now that autumn starts
Must be on my way
My train is heading south girl
Remember me when you pray
Can`t give my heart for love
But will call you when I`m gone
Instrumental
Don`t be bitter my dear when we part
It`s better to shine than to fade away
Farewell our love was not in vain
The Lord willing we will meet again
Chorus
