fiogf49gjkf0d John Barley (Harvest is Here)
Pour the wax and set to light
The sacred fire
We’ll share a toast with friends tonight
Dance in the firelight
As John Barley laughs and waves
At the ending of his days
He is happy to be going
Whisper wishes and regrets
Tommorow’s hope, yesterday’s debts
He’ll take them with him when he’s leaving
The weavers are done weaving
And Harvest is here
There’s a Corn King in a field
He’s all on fire
He’s been good to us this year
There is no need of tears
Around the fire we will go
One more dance before it snows
And the earth is set to sleeping
Call the corners and the maids
Bring the minstrels and the babes
This is no time for weeping
The reapers are done reaping
And Harvest is here
