Thureann

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 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

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
