Lyrics

verse I
The summer's come & gone
now winter's coming on
the geese they fly so high
the flowers fade & die

the sun still makes her run
though milder she's become
the hares no longer play
and shorter are the days

chorus I
so turn, turn, the bonfires burn
the winds blow fresh & chill
so turn, turn, the heather & fern
up on bracken hill

verse II
the wolf he comes to prowl
likewise the snowy owl
shadows in the night
beneath the heaven's light

behold the hunter's moon
hangs like a silver spoon
silhouettes the leafless trees
while drowsy petals freeze

chorus II
so turn, turn, the bonfires burn
the winds blow fresh & chill
so turn, turn, the heather & fern
up on bracken hill

reprise
so turn, turn, the bonfires burn
the winds blow fresh & chill
so turn, turn, the heather & fern
up on bracken hill
up on bracken hill
