I came from the land of the long grass and gorsenI flew with the eagle and I ran with the horsenAnd I played with the wild wind and whistled its tunenI ebbed with the ocean and slept in the moonnnChorus:nAnd you brought me down gentlynYou brought me down cleannYou fed me the summernYou fed me your dreamsnYour hands held the woundnAnd heart healed the painnAnd your eyes stole the lightnOf the moon as it wanednnWe journeyed the moorlands and oceans of bluenWe slept with the dawn and we rose with the dewnAnd we sang with the breezes of the year to be bornnWe lay in the long grass when the scythe took the cornnnChorus:nAnd you brought me down gentlynYou brought me down cleannYou fed me the summernYou fed me your dreamsnYour hands held the woundnAnd heart healed the painnAnd your eyes stole the lightnOf the moon as it wanednnI will fall with the leaves, I'll turn with the landnI'll chill with the first frost that stings on your handnBut I gathered the seeds from the gorse and the broomnI'll lay them forever, said the Man in the MoonnnChorus:nAnd you brought me down gentlynYou brought me down cleannYou fed me the summernYou fed me your dreamsnYour hands held the woundnAnd heart healed the painnAnd your eyes stole the lightnOf the moon as it waned
