HARVEST OF THE MOON

(by Peter Knight)

All the husbands and the wives
We were dancing for our lives
	All to the tune of Elsie Marley
Instead of gathering up our differences
And throwing them in the air
	And giving them to the wind that shakes the barley

And the children they were watching
Every girl and every boy
	As we danced to the tune of Elsie Marley
But they'd heard another tune
From the harvest of the moon
	That rides upon the wind that shakes the barley

Then Bridget she declared
That she was not prepared
	To watch us dance to the tune of Elsie Marley
She said I'll sing you all a song
And you'll want to sing along
	If you listen to the wind that shakes the barley

	And the song that she sang
	Could be heard for miles around
	The air was full of harmony
	You should have heard the sound
	    As we gathered up our differences
	    And threw them in the air
	    And gave them to the wind that shakes the barley

All the husbands and the wives
We were dancing for our lives
	All to the tune of Elsie Marley
Until we gathered up our differences
And threw them in the air
	And gave them to the wind that shakes the barley

Then all of us declared
That we were not prepared
	To dance our lives away with Elsie Marley
For we'd heard another tune
From the harvest of the moon
	That rides upon the wind that shakes the barley

	And the song that she sang
	Could be heard for miles around
	The air was full of harmony
	You should have heard the sound
	    As we gathered up our differences
	    And threw them in the air
	    And gave them to the wind that shakes the barley
