The Chau

                                  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

The sun slips 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



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 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
