RYAN, Roma
    
      
    
      
    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
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 leads 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
    
      
    
      
    Anywhere Is
  
    
      
    I walk the maze of moments
    
      
    But everywhere I turn to
    
      
    Begins a new beginning
    
      
    But never finds a finish
    
      
    I walk to the horizon
    
      
    And there I find another
    
      
    It all seems so surprising
    
      
    And then I find that I know
    
      
    
      
    You go there you're gone forever
    
      
    I go there I'll lose my way
    
      
    If we stay here we're not together
    
      
    Anywhere is
    
      
    
      
    The moon upon the ocean
    
      
    Is swept around in motion
    
      
    But without ever knowing
    
      
    The reason for its flowing
    
      
    In motion on the ocean
    
      
    The moon still keeps on moving
    
      
    The waves still keep on waving
    
      
    And I still keep on going
    
      
    
      
    I wonder if the stars sign
    
      
    The life that is to be mine
    
      
    And would they let their light shine
    
      
    Enough for me to follow
    
      
    I look up to the heavens
    
      
    But night has clouded over
    
      
    No spark of constellation
    
      
    No Vela no Orion
    
      
    
      
    The shells upon the warm sands
    
      
    Have taken from their own lands
    
      
    The echo of their story
    
      
    But all I hear are low sounds
    
      
    As pillow words are weaving
    
      
    And willow waves are leaving
    
      
    But should I be believing
    
      
    That I am only dreaming
    
      
    
      
    To leave the thread of all time
    
      
    And let it make a dark line
    
      
    In hopes that I can still find
    
      
    The way back to the moment
    
      
    I took the turn and turned to
    
      
    Begin a new beginning
    
      
    Still looking for the answer
    
      
    I cannot find the finish
    
      
    It's either this or that way
    
      
    It's one way or the other
    
      
    It should be one direction
    
      
    It could be on reflection
    
      
    The turn I have just taken
    
      
    The turn that I was making
    
      
    I might be just beginning
    
      
    I might be near the end. 
  
    
      
    
      
    Only Time
  
    
      
    Who can say where the road goes?
  
Where the day flows?
Only time.
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time.
    
      
    Who can say why your heart sighs
  
As your love flies?
Only time.
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies?
Only time.
    
      
    Who can say when the roads meet
  
That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart,
Night keeps all your heart?
    
      
    Who can say if your love grows
  
As your heart chose?
Only time.
And who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time.
    
      
    Who knows? Only time.
  
    Who knows? Only time.
