I came from the land of the long grass and gorse   I flew with the eagle and I ran with the horse   And I played with the wild wind and whistled its tune   I ebbed with the ocean and slept in the moon      Chorus:   And you brought me down gently   You brought me down clean   You fed me the summer   You fed me your dreams   Your hands held the wound   And heart healed the pain   And your eyes stole the light   Of the moon as it waned      We journeyed the moorlands and oceans of blue   We slept with the dawn and we rose with the dew   And we sang with the breezes of the year to be born   We lay in the long grass when the scythe took the corn      Chorus:   And you brought me down gently   You brought me down clean   You fed me the summer   You fed me your dreams   Your hands held the wound   And heart healed the pain   And your eyes stole the light   Of the moon as it waned      I will fall with the leaves, I'll turn with the land   I'll chill with the first frost that stings on your hand   But I gathered the seeds from the gorse and the broom   "I'll lay them forever," said the Man in the Moon      Chorus:   And you brought me down gently   You brought me down clean   You fed me the summer   You fed me your dreams   Your hands held the wound   And heart healed the pain   And your eyes stole the light   Of the moon as it waned
