Dirt Road To Hill End

"Dirt Road to Hill End" a midnight drive the chauffeur sings soft dreams before the child in time arrives a dream not even borne a silent second sideways smile, magic, minutiae missed in the authoress' mind the stars reflecting in the rockpools of his glistening ice blue eyes are gold stories shrouded in the forgotten expense of innocent time the road is rocky it winds like a twisted friend in the haze of romance it dissolves and in ecstasy thrills new colours unseen the now disappears dark dimension arrives and reality, it blends ghost gums tall and bending spread their ghoulish canopies over them like dark angels evening scent of eucalyptus through open windows in the silence, honour guards the Autumn breeze sucking their souls in the music beats like her heart in tune with Silver Lady's engine masterfully the gears to life are changed down then up again the tale unfolds before captive sentence love handed a key over one note at a time tightening loose chords locking all freedom doors the stars reflecting in the rockpools of his glistening ice blue eyes are gold stories shrouded in the forgotten expense of innocent time the road is rocky it winds and haunted, it bends destination unknown a mystery calling them in the gloaming moon smoky-eyed peers through cover a witches friend to unnamed phantom lovers on a dirt road to Hill End (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) "The Chauffeur" / Bianca Strega (Cover) https://youtu.be/8ZkEF-7I8js "The Chauffeur" / Duran Duran (Original) https://youtu.be/MCF2nMrQde8 "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..." https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/50_words_for_poe_keys_1131135 https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_authoress_-_the_author_1134904 LYRICS/ "The Chauffeur", Duran Duran https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/12577/ *including other's thoughts and interpretations behind meaning of lyrics* "This is why Simon wrote the line "Sing Blue Silver": as a child he read a book about timetravel, and in it said that allegedly, people who are coming back from a trip in time see blue silver. It adds to the song's supernatural element."
