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 freshing your side
The sun slips down bedding heavy blind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the drowning 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 empty sky on towards that western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
And watch as 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 But I'll only watch you leave me further behind
