Wilson’s rendition of the Lonely Robot deep cut ‘In Floral Green’ is the first cover he has released since 2014’s ‘Cover Version’ collection. Wilson was attracted to John Mitchell’s heart-wrenching ballad because “it felt like it was almost my song”. His slightly modified arrangement stays quite tru...
[Intro]
Between the stars, there is darkness
There are these gaps, these intervals
The unconscious state
Must appear always through the conscious state
As a gap
So you can conceive
Going to sleep but not waking up
[Verse 1]
I thought you'd seen
Behind this dream
An endless scene
That you call life
This walk on part
This work of art
So set apart
From otherwise
No great disguise
[Chorus]
It's time to love what you forgot
Another lost forget-me-not
The biggest dream, in floral green
Time forgives what was bеtrayed
Time remеmbers brighter days
These great unseens, in floral green
[Verse 2]
Desolate sun
Great journey done
An idol won
Vast, bright, unfrayed
In darkened frames
We often gaze
But hope remains
In twilight's beams
In floral green
[Chorus]
It's time to love what you forgot
Another lost forget-me-not
The biggest dream, in floral green
Time forgives what was betrayed
Time remembers brighter days
These great unseens, in floral green
[Outro]
She's so serene
So unforeseen
An endless dream
That you call life
That we call life
Life
Go to sleep and never wake up, when we die
