Harvest Home - Big Country

Harvest Home Lyrics

Who saw the fences falling
Who broke the plough man's bread
Who heard the winter calling
Who wore the tailor's threadHow many sheaves were counted
How did the carriage shine
How many thoughts were doubted
How did the landlord dineJust as you sow you shall reap
Just as you sow you shall reapWho led the mayday feasting
Who saw the harvest home
Who left the future wasting
Who watched the families goSee where the bowls are empty
See where the arms reach
See where the butter melted
See where the altars creakJust as you sow you shall reap
Just as you sow you shall reap
In a Harvest Home
In a Harvest HomeWhere were the days of promise
Where were the gifts divine

Where were the heroes honest
Where was the summer wineWatch how the waves must shatter
Watch how the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his brideJust as you sow you shall reap
Just as you sow you shall reap
In a Harvest Home
In a Harvest Home
