Heather
Spencer The Rover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a heavenly seventh of May
The game was love, her name was Heather
I would read to her, she would bring me flowers
Sang our favourite Dylan songs
And we would watch the moon for hours
Would you like to marry me soon?
You know our love would last forever
She said your words are sweet, your conversation's clever
But there's someone I'd like you to meet
I think that she would suit you better
And on our wedding day, August twenty-seven
Purple violets did Heather send
And Spanish boots of Spanish leather
The Spencer The Rover's song "Heather" is a melancholic tale of unrequited love. The singer recalls his meetings with Heather on May 7th, the day he fell for her. The two of them spent a lot of time together, reading books, singing their favorite Bob Dylan songs, and admiring the moon. However, on June 1st, the singer proposed to Heather through a long letter, asking her to marry him. Unfortunately, Heather turned down his proposal, stating that there was someone else better suited for him. The singer is heartbroken but attends Heather's wedding to someone else on August 27th, where she sends purple violets and Spanish boots of Spanish leather as a token of their friendship.
The lyrics of the song convey the pain of unrequited love, as well as the difficulty in moving on.
