Out on the tar plains the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me so newly charming Sweat and 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 other western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
(2x): And the sun drips down bedding heavily 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 Glass splinters lie so deep in your mind to tear out from your eyes with a word to stiffen brooding lies but I only watch you leave me further behind
(2x): And the sun drips down bedding heavily behind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart
