The India Song

From #1 Record1972

Written by Andy Hummel

Lyrics

The India Song

[Verse 1] I'd like to go to India Live in a big white house in the forest Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano Read a few books Far from what saddens my heart Try to live away from it [Verse 2] Find a new girl Who says she feels the same Get to know her after the trip Bathe in a forest pool Her life a part of mine And let no one know until I'm gone
