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
