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
