lyrics

Well I sat down by the wishing tree
I wish I may I wish of thee
Then a lonely leaf fell at my feet
Suddenly I heard a tune
As bright and full as a harvest moon
About a girl that I might hope to meet

It went, love is like the harvest moon
Looks so close it will make you swoon
But it's really a million miles away

Drank some brandy from an old tin cup
Up fell down and down turned up
Found my lot with a band of unholy thieves
We tramped around in the underbrush
Till mom and dad told us to hush
Then we made our bed amongst the leaves

But what about the girl that I had hoped to find
I knew I'd would not find her running 'round blind

Come the morn the birds were tweeting
A bright, sweet song that kept repeating
Goodbye moon, hello sun
Packed my bag and got on my way
Didn't want to lose another day
All my childhood things are now done

Saw my girl at the top of the hill
She was singing a song that I remember still
