[Verse 1]
Em D G B7
Out on the tar plains ...the glides are moving,
Em D G B
All looking for a new place to drive,
Em D G B7
You sit be - side me, ...so newly charming,
Em D G B
Sweating dewdrops glisten, fresh in your side
[Chorus]
G B7
And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
Em B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,
G B Em B
Then the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

[Verse 2]
Em D G B7
Way down the lane a way, living for a - nother day,
Em D G B
The aphids swarm up in the ...drifting haze,
Em D G B7
Swim seagull in the sky to - wards that hollow western isle,
Em D G B
My envied Lady holds you fast in her gaze
[Chorus]
G B7
And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
Em B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,
G B Em B
Then the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

Em D G B7
And watching lovers part, ...I feel you smiling,
Em D G B
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind?
Em D
To tear out from your eyes,
G B7
With a thought to stiffen brooding lies,
Em D G B
And I'll only watch you leave me further be - hind
[Chorus]
G B7
And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
Em B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,

Then the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

[Some versions have a sample of a narrator over parts of the coda,
this was taken from a natural history recording about insects]
"There's more to this kind of camouflage, more than just
...colour and shape!
Who's crawling now, ...in the tall grass, near my tent?"
