The Bahamas i/bəˈhɑːməz/, officially the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, is an island country of the Lucayan Archipelago consisting of more than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean; north of Cuba and Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic); northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands; southeast of the US state of Florida and east of the Florida Keys. Its capital is Nassau on the island of New Providence. The designation of "Bahamas" can refer to either the country or the larger island chain that it shares with the Turks and Caicos Islands. As stated in the mandate/manifesto of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, the Bahamas territory encompasses 470,000 km2 (180,000 sq mi) of ocean space.
Originally inhabited by the Lucayan, a branch of the Arawakan-speaking Taino people, the Bahamas were the site of Columbus' first landfall in the New World in 1492. Although the Spanish never colonised the Bahamas, they shipped the native Lucayans to slavery in Hispaniola. The islands were mostly deserted from 1513 until 1648, when English colonists from Bermuda settled on the island of Eleuthera.

Oh, Bohemian
On The Table You Throw Down A Torn Tarot Card
And Let It Show
Oh Let It Show Me Everplace That You Have Gone Tonight
Bohemian I Understand That This Love May Be All Out Of Place
But Don't I Have
Oh Don't I Have The Right To Be A Happy Man
Passion In The Night Surrounded Us
Seeing Sweet Dreams Every Day
Holding You So Tight I Won't Let You Go
But You Are... Just Passing By
Oh, Bohemian
I Am Feeling The Pain From An Arrow Of Love
And This Old Wound
And This Old Wound Your Love Can Never Heal, Oh
Oh, Bohemian
Say Goodbye Oh Yes And Say Sayonara Too
And Then You Say
Yes You Said As You Were Leaving You Said,
"I'll Be Back"
Bohemian
You Gave All Of Your Life
To A Girl Who Forgot
Almost Forgot How
Almost Forgot How To Be Herself In Love
Passion In The Night Surrounded Us
Seeing Sweet Dreams Every Day
Holding You So Tight I Won't Let You Go
But You Are... Just Passing By
Oh, Bohemian
And So Now You Are Only A Fleeting Refrain
I'll Always Wait
Wait Forever For My Bohemian
