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 dew drops glisten fresh in 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

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

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
