The Harvest Moon

The harvest moon is coming. This is my lane, in every actual sense. I talk too much and want to say more with less, as I’ve said over and over and over again, so let the music play. I have lost all my words.

Poolside – Harvest Moon by Poolside Music

Cassandra Wilson “Harvest Moon” (Blue Note, 1996)

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin’
We could dream this night away.

But there’s a full moon risin’
Let’s go dancin’ in the light
We know where the music’s playin’
Let’s go out and feel the night.

Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I’m still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it’s gettin’ late
And the moon is climbin’ high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin’ in your eye.

Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dance tonight
Because I’m still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
