The full moon's on the rising
The worknight's in its glow
Hand in hand, side by side,
Your eyes look different tonight.
I'm in your orbit. Safe and well and far away.
Laughing and drinking, sleeping in the hay.
Harvest moon, shine your light.
Harvest moon, from dusk till dawn.
Harvest moon, don't leave too soon.
Harvest moon, shine on us tonight.
We're tired, but we're lovers.
Your sweet smell 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 tonight.
Our hearts soon will break in two, but I'll give my half to you.
Harvest moon, shine your light.
Harvest moon, from dusk till dawn.
Harvest moon, don't leave too soon.
Harvest moon, shine on us tonight.
Now that Autumn starts, I must be on my way.
My train is heading south, girl.
Remember me when you pray.
Can't get my heart for love, but will call you when I'm gone.
Don't be bitter my dear, when we part.
It's better to shine and fade away.
Farwell, our love was not in vain.
Lord willing, we'll meet again.
Harvest moon, shine your light.
Harvest moon, from dusk till dawn.
Harvest moon, don't leave too soon.
Harvest moon, shine on us tonight.
