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 
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 hollow western isle 
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze 
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 
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 
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 board to stiffen brooding lies 
But I'll only watch you leave me further behind 
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 
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 
Sing blue silver 
Sing, sing blue silver
