Steeleye Span - Harvest Of The Moon lyrics

Steeleye Span 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 girl 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 we 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
