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



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 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



Sing blue silver

Sing, sing blue silver
