The Chauffer

Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving

All looking for a new place to drive

You sit beside me so newly charming

Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side



And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind

The front of your dress - all shadowy lined

And the droning engine throbs in time

With your beating heart



Way down the lane away, living for another day

The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze

Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle

My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze





And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind

The front of your dress - all shadowy lined

And the droning engine throbs in time

With your beating heart



Sing blue silver



And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling

What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind

To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies

And I'll only watch you leave me further behind





And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind

The front of your dress - all shadowy lined

And the droning engine throbs in time

With your beating heart



Sing blue silver

Sing, sing.. blue silver
