Lyrics: Hugh Macdonald
Music: Hugh Macdonald
In the end, you, me and the canned beans expire
We become stories told round the fire
We become bark on the family tree
We start to mean less than we used to mean
The songs that we loved are heard and outdatedĀ
Our house and our school rebuilt and repaintedĀ
The bench that we sit on is now an apartmentĀ
And we return back to where we startedĀ
Send in the harpist
Itās time for harvestĀ
How about you let me hold your handĀ
Practicing for when the music endsĀ
I donāt want to curse it but I have a feelingĀ
We could get good at thisĀ
While weāre still breathingĀ
Maybe one day Iāll get the perfect haircutĀ
Maybe thereās time to do something important
Maybe the time spent thinking about itĀ
Could have been spent in the momentĀ
Send in the harpist
Itās time for harvestĀ
Send in the harpist
Itās time for harvest
