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
And the front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing blue silver

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
And 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 lines
I'll only watch you leave me further behind

And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind
And the front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing blue silver

Sing blue silver (blue silver)
Sing blue silver
Sing blue silver (blue silver)
Sing blue silver (blue silver)

The sun drips down, bedding heavy behind
And the front of your dress, all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
