"Floreana" lyrics - WISHBONE ASH

WISHBONE ASH
"Floreana"

There was a man, he'd fought a war
He couldn't take the world we love
He swore to me he'd sail away in time
He found a girl who found in him a love sublime

There was a plan to live alone
To build a life, a brand new home
They made a world to live as one in bliss
Could not conceal their pursuit of happiness

A promise of paradise
Was too much to lose
An island, a brand new start
Alone together, a life as art

A promise of paradise
Was too much to lose
An island, a brand new start
Alone together, a life as art

They hid away to be carefree
As strangers came to their shores
They disappeared
Who knows where long ago
Their lives were lost
The truth we'll never know
