See the flowers round the altar 
See the peaches in tins 'neath the headmaster's chair 
Harvest festival 

See the two who've been chosen 
See them walk hand in hand to the front of the hall

Harvest festival 
What was best of all was the 
Longing look you gave me 
That longing look 
More than enough to keep me fed all year 

See the children with baskets 
See their hair cut like corn neatly combed in their rows

Harvest festival 
What was best of all was the 
Longing look you gave me 
That longing look 
Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs 
The longing look you gave me 
That longing look 
More than enough to keep me fed all year 

What a year when the exams and crops all failed 
Of course you passed but you were never seen again 
We all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailed 
Then out of nowhere invitation in gold pen 

See the flowers round the altar 
See that you too got married and I wish you well

The longing look you gave me 
That longing look 
More than enough to keep me fed all year
