Flora's Secret Lyrics
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
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
tears from Persia
those who come
from a far-off island
winter Chanterelle lies
under cover
Glory-of-the-sun in blue
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

"this amazing thing full of happiness" you describe is sex, in the days when it was discovered by lovers, and not sold cheaply through the media. They feel they are the only two in the world who have discovered this beautiful feeling and so refer to it as a secret. Maybe Flora is some kind of goddess?
Flora is the goddess of flowers and spring in roman mythology

I think Myoria needs a hug.
@unspeakableme Sure she does poor lady feels so broken

yes, flora is a roman goddess of spring. she had a festival that was celabrated in late april or early may. the festival was to celebrate the circle of life (and strongly reminds me of beltane). this song is my favorite of hers!
this is a really beautiful song, but I'm inclined to agree with myoria. It has to do with how and when the past tense gets thrown into the song. In particular, these:
"Some they know as passion some as freedom some they know as love and the way it leaves them" (the way IT leaves them)
"this will be the day she will remember when she knew his heart"
"whispering of love and the way it leaves them"
"telling them of love and the way it breathes"
oddly enough, the sex thing kind of fits >:)
You know, I wonder if it's about young love, but it ends happy. "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"
That sounds to me like he asked her to marry him...
B&N.com: Who is Flora in "Flora's Secret"?
E: This song tells two stories -- one of lovers lying in the long grass on a peaceful, sunny day. The girl's name is Flora. It also tells of "Flora" -- the flowers they are surrounded by. The song was inspired by the various legends given to flowers. For example -- the "one the moon loves" is Endymion. He was the beloved of Seline, the moon, who made Endymion sleep eternally so she could be with him each night. Endymion is the bluebell. And, of course, Flora is the goddess of flowers.

Google can be used for research, people.
It's about two young lovers, and how their love develops and grows into this amazing thing full of happiness. ^^
Yay :) and the circle of life fits in too.... I wish I was like the girl in this song :(
Foolish, idealistic young love that will soon fade.
I think Myoria ended up getting dumped.
But either way, I like to subscribe to her first theory.
And either way also, what this song really means to ME: It just describes a really lovely day in which two lovers decided to go hang out, in the pretty weather, in a field full of flowers for a day. :] The fact that Flora is the Roman Goddess of spring kind of helps my interpretation along a bit.
