The Chauffeur

Out on the tar plains the glides are moving

All looking for a new place to hide

You sit beside me so newly charming

Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side

Way down the lane away living for another day

The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze

Swim seagull in the sky towards some 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

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 word to stiffen

Brooding lies

And I'll only watch you leave me further behind...
