The Chauffeur

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Sing blue silver

[Verse 3]

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 word to stiffen brooding lies

But I'll only watch you leave me further behind

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind

The front of your dress all shadowy lined

The droning engine throbs in time

With your beating heart

[Refrain]

Sing blue silver

Sing, sing blue silver

[Outro]

"Known as Albert Schweitzer

Well, there was more to this kind of camouflage

More than just colour and shape

Who's crawling now in the tall grass near my tent?
