Burning The Heather
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got me all wrong
I'm not that guy
I'm just the singer of the song in my mind's eye
If I thought what you think
I wouldn't even be here
I've just dropped in for a drink before I disappear
You've got me all wrong
There's no one I'm missing
I'm quite happy to be alone
There are no lips I'm kissing
The truth must be the truth
Unvarnished in its telling
Otherwise it's just hype you hope
People won't notice you're peddling
Autumn is here
And they're burning the heather
Sheepdogs are running
Hell for leather
Seasons are changing
Time's moving along
Give me a drink and I'll be gone
Where did I come from?
Where do I go?
Time is so heartless
You don't want to know
I set out in the dark
Waking from a nightmare
Hoping I could find
The middle of nowhere
I'm a stranger in this town
But that's as far as it goes
And where I am bound no one knows
Autumn is here
And they're burning the heather
Sheepdogs are running
Hell for leather
Seasons are changing
Time's moving along
Give me a drink and I'll be gone
You've got me all wrong
That's what I'm sensing
I'm not one of those bread-heads
Always pounds, shillings, and pence-ing
There's a few things I need
But I've enough money for paying
And if you've enough room
I'll consider staying
