Shadow On A Harvest Moon Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

Let me tell you about this torch I carry 

It's not much of a career 

And it won't make my fortune I fear 

But it stays alight and won't be buried 

It's brighter year-by-year 

And someday it will surely disappear 

When it does I'll know I've laid to rest 

The ghost of your unhappiness 

That flits around from room to room 

A widow on a honeymoon 

A shadow on a harvest moon

So put away this torch you carry 

For it's doing you no good 

And surely you know by now that you should 

And come the day you die or marry 

Will you be understood 

When you say that you wanted but never could 

Photos 

Turn your back and lay to rest 

The ghost of your unhappiness 

That flits around from room to room 

A widow on a honey moon 

A shadow on a harvest moon 

I write these words to make them true, 

"I've drowned my torch and so should you."
