Full Lyrics: (Warm guitar swell) Verse 1 Harvest moon rises big and pale Over the cane‑field rail Cutters finish up their long hot day Pack their tools and head away Trucks roll slow down the dusty lane Carry the fruit of the year’s hard gain Some years it’s good, some years it’s thin But you turn up ready to start again Verse 2 Kids run out ‘neath the silver glow Chase the light where the shadows go Old timers sit on the verandah rail Watch the moon climb the sky’s dark veil They talk of seasons long gone by Of floods and droughts ‘neath the Queensland sky Pass the stories down from one to one ‘Bout the work we do and the dreams we’ve won Pre‑Chorus Harvest moon glow — over the cane‑field rows Harvest moon glow — where the red‑dirt grows We work the land, we watch the sky Live each season as it passes by Chorus: Harvest moon over cane fields — silver light so wide! Harvest moon over cane fields — restin’ after the tide of work! Harvest moon over cane fields — stories in the dark! Harvest moon over cane fields — markin’ every mark! Harvest moon over cane fields — silver light so wide! Harvest moon over cane fields — restin’ after the tide of work! Harvest moon over cane fields — stories in the dark! Harvest moon over cane fields — markin’ every mark! (Fade: warm guitar + cane rustle)
