The Chauffeur

The Chauffeur

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 some 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
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 word 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
