Harvest Moon Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

This place has a history 

The Spaniards settled here 

They burned the town and fields 

They moved away from here 

My grandma often told me 

She knew it peaceful here 

The war took all the vigor 

War took the best from here 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh When the wind turns 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh And blows the leaves from the trees 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh Harvest moon 

I see the days grow shorter 

I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon 

Young people feelin' restless 

Old people feelin' old Harvest moon 

I sense the darkness clearer 

I feel a 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 that early snow 

They lost their livestock that year 

They lost their sheep and goats 

They sold the farm in springtime 

Went south to work the boats 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh When the wind turns 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh And blows the leaves from the trees 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh Harvest moon 

I see the days grow shorter 

I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon 

Young people feelin' restless 

Old people feelin' old Harvest moon 

I sense the darkness clearer 

I feel a presence here Harvest moon 

A change in the weather 

I love this time of year Harvest moon 

Ten years in this farmhouse 

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 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh When the wind turns 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh And blows the leaves from the trees 

Ahh ahh ahh ahh Harvest moon 

I sense the darkness clearer 

I feel a 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 springtime 

The snow melts away Harvest moon 

I see the days grow shorter 

I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon 

Young people feelin' restless 

Old people feelin' old Harvest moon
