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
(Chorus)
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
(Repeat Chorus)
Sing blue silver With your beating heart
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 And I'll only watch you leave me further behind
