Flora's Secret

Lovers in the long grass look above them
only they can see where the clouds are going
only to discover dust and sunlight
ever make the sky so blue
Afternoon is hazy
river flowing, all around the sounds
moving closer to them
telling them the story
told by flora..
dreams they never knew
Silver willows, tears from Persia
those who come from a far-off island
winter Chanterelle lies under cover
Glory-of-the-sun in blue
Some they know as passion
some as freedom
some they know as love
and the way it leaves them
summer snowflake for a season
when the sky above is blue
oh when the sky above is blue

Lying in the long grass close beside her
giving her the name of the one the moon loves
this will be the day she will remember
when she knew his heart was loving in the long grass
close beside her whispering of love
and the way it leaves them
lying in the long grass in the sunlight
they believe it's true love
and from all around them
flora's secret, telling them of love
and the way it breathes
and looking up from eyes of amaranthine
they can see the sky is blue
knowing that their love is true
dreams they never knew
and the sky above is blue
