Harvest Moon
Oh temptress of the earth and sky
Why must you rise so soon?
The fields are full with wheat and grain
So comes the harvest moon
Come september ready or not
Our crops no longer wait
The harvest moon and autumn wind
Will surely seal their fate
Oh golden moon that shines so bright
Give me light I pray
I cannot see to glean my fields
Turn darkness into day
Oh harvest moon why can't you see?
I do the best I can
I plow my fields and plant my seeds
Why can't you understand?
Harvest moon oh harvest moon
Just give me one more hour
Help me see to cut my wheat
And grind it into flour
