Runrig - Harvest Moon Lyrics






Sons and daughters of the dust
Strangers of time and place
For a while your limbs entwine
Holy marriage of the flesh
But I know your ways
Your ways are not mortal thought
Till the day breaks and shadows run
Run away

So shine on harvest moon
Cast you might on the ripening corn
And I look at your life
Hold you in my arms
With all the power in the days of youth
In the fullness of love

Fields run deep in golden swards
Hot summer winds blow through the corn
Cast off your sorrows now you stand
In the presence of the Lord
And your radiance shines
Like the moon of all innocent grace
To know that we dared breathe belief
To love again

So shine on harvest moon
Cast you might on the ripening corn
And I look at your life
Hold you in my arms
With all the power in the days of youth
In the fullness of love

  1. J.... A....

    First saw runs in at the rollout of the jet stream 41 at British aerospace prestwick 1991 and was smitten and have seen them many times since lucky to have worked with the band at the magnum in Irvine when I worked with rock steady back stage to how good was that sad that the younger generation will never see them live but thankfully can hear them

    They didn't sing it at the 2013 Black Isle concert even though Donnie came on and sang.

  24. C.... H....

    Beautiful ballad!

  25. C.... F....

    I'm in the video. We got invited, along with 100 other fan to be there for the recording. Awesome night. They did a full concert for us!!!! I love 2.30 ... TIREE!!!!!!!!!

  26. o.... ....

    This is the most profound and intrinsic text - lyrics - I have read forever.....if this doesn't wake up people to go to a deeper level in life, than I don't understand why people do not reflect more over life......supported by this strong emotional tune, does make this song perfect..... fabulous.... w w w sxu.se

  27. a.... m....

    I am so sad that he didn't sing this most beautiful song at the party on the Muir of Ord on 10th August. It must be their iconic song. I thought they would do it as a final finale, but I left the showground disappointed.

  28. T.... F....

    Brilliant!!! Now I can't stop grinning... Great band, great song, great video!

  29. M.... ....

    It says a lot for the band's talent that this epic track never even made it on to a studio album, just live albums and compilations. For many bands, this song would be the highlight of their career.

  30. x.... ....

    Come on Aussie come on. Come to Australia!

  31. M.... D....

    @wemlass New (OK for about 10 yrs now!) Runrig is not the same, although I suppose that the lead singer is ok, but Donnie would always be Runrig for me! I saw them in Loch Lomond many years ago the biggest concert is that this is the only thing that tops and levels my wedding and the birth of my three children! This song is so special like porbably about another 10 I could mention at hand. I love this song!

  32. S.... G....

    Oh I have been so blessed! Although I live in the US now, I saw Runrig in Sheffield, Portsmouth and finally at the Stirling Castle anniversary concert. If they come stateside anytime, I would be there in a heartbeat :^)

  33. l.... ....

    Thanks for including the amazing lyrics. Runrig verses are fine poetry even if just read out loud.

  34. S.... ....

    Brilliant post, kerpat.

    I agree with LowOIL--wish Runrig would tour the States so my wee Chelsea and I could see them live.

    Thanks so much for the share! :D
