Flora's Secret

Lyrics:Roma Ryan Music:Enya Arranger:Enya/Nicky Ryan

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
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
