Harvest Festival

[Verse 1]

See the flowers 'round the altar

See the peaches in tins

'Neath the headmaster's chair

Harvest festival

See the two who've been chosen

See them walk hand in hand

To the front of the hall

Harvest festival, harvest festival

[Chorus]

What was best of all was the

Longing look you gave me, that longing look

More than enough to keep me fed all year

[Verse 2]

See the children with baskets

See their hair cut like corn

Neatly combed in their rows

Harvest festival, harvest festival

[Chorus]

What was best of all was the

Longing look you gave me, that longing look

Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs

The longing look you gave me, that longing look

More than enough to keep me fed all year

[Bridge]

And what a year when the exams and crops all failed

Of course, you passed and you were never seen again

We all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailed

Then out of nowhere, invitation in gold pen

[Verse 3]

See the flowers 'round the altar

See that you two got married

And I wish you well

Harvest festival, harvest festival

[Chorus]

What was best of all was the

Longing look you gave me, that longing look

Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs

The longing look you gave me, that longing look

More than enough to keep me fed all year

[Outro]
