See the flowers 'round the altar................ see the peaches in tins
Round 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....
What was best of all was the.... Longing look you gave me...
That longing look............. more than enough to keep me fed all year..
See the children with baskets............... see their hair cut like corn
Neatly combed in their rows... harvest festival........ harvest festival....
What was best of all was the.... Longing look you gave me...
That longing look............ across the hymn books and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me..... that longing look....
More than enough to keep me fed all year....
#11
And what a year when the exams and crops all failed
in/
Of course you passed and you were never seen again...........
#11
We all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailed
in/
Then out of nowhere...... invitation in gold pen
See the flowers 'round the altar............ see that you two got married
And I wish you well...... harvest festival............ harvest festival.....
( bass)
What was best of all was the.... Longing look you gave me...
That longing look............ across the hymn books and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me..... that longing look....
More than enough to keep me fed all year....
Harvest festival.....
