The Heather On the Hill

Can't we two go walkin' together

Out beyond the valley of trees

Out where there's a hillside of heather

Curtsying gently in the breeze?

That's what I'd like to do

See the heather, but with you

The mist of May is in the gloamin'

And all the clouds are holdin' still

So take my hand and let's go roamin'

Through the heather on the hill

The mornin' dew is blinkin' yonder

There's lazy music in the rill

And all I want to do is wander

Through the heather on the hill

There may be other days as rich and rare

There may be other springs as full and fair

But they won't be the same, they'll come and go

For this I know

That when the mist is in the gloamin'

And all the clouds are holdin' still

If you're not there, I won't go roamin'

Through the heather on the hill

The heather on the hill

You see, you can say nice things when you want to!

Yes, it almost sounded like I was making love to you, didn't it?

Ha! There's a difference between makin' love

And just being sentimental because you're tired

Is that what I'm being? Sentimental because I'm tired?

I believe so. But it's very agreeable

The mist of May is in the gloamin'

And all the clouds are holdin' still

So take my hand and we'll go roamin'

Through the heather on the hill

The mornin' dew is blinkin' yonder

There's lazy music in the rill

And 'tis a lovely time to wander

Through the heather on the hill

There may be other days as rich and rare

There may be other springs as full and fair

But they won't be the same, they'll come and go

For this I know

That when the mist is in the gloamin'

And all the clouds are holdin' still

If you're not there, I won't go roamin'

Through the heather on the hill
