Burning the Heather lyrics

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, I'm not on your grapevine

When I came along, you were just in my eye-line

I'm not one to stare, I'm not that committed

But I'm always aware of what isn't permitted

[Chorus]

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, 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 money for paying

And if you've enough room, I'll consider staying
