Artist/Band: Everything But the Girl
Lyrics for Song: Shadow On A Harvest Moon
Lyrics for Album: Works [2007]



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



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."


Shadow On A Harvest Moon

Shadow On A Harvest Moon stands as a reflective song in the discography of Everything But the Girl, appearing on their 2007 compilation Works. The track captures the duo's signature blend of atmospheric pop and introspective songwriting that defined their later career. Benji Madden and Tracey Thorn crafted a sound that balances melancholic undertones with accessible melodies, creating a recording that resonates with listeners familiar with their extensive catalogue.
