Bora Bora

Oh, we searched for the poison blossom And we embraced in a smoke cloud When I knew you'd appreciate it Your face went pale, so we slowly paced To the comfort of tales of our favourite places The crowd just kept on running If I met you today, I don't know what I'd show to you If you just went away, would I learn the things I never knew That you kept from my view There's a siren cry through the neighbourhood It's just a wagon weighed down with all we could And it won't hide its discomfort Well, if the aim is to change what you can't accept Until a fading memory is all that's left Then, with swords drawn, I'll show I love you If I met you today, I don't know what I'd show to you If you just went away, would I learn the things I never knew If the world's in flames, what do we bury to protect What's the cost What's lost with all the names we forgot
