Michael Franks - Antonio's Song lyrics

Antonio lives life's frevo Antonio prays for truth Antonio says our friendship Is a hundred-proof The vulture that circles Rio Hangs in this L.A. sky The blankets they give the Indians Only make them die But sing the Song Forgotten for so long And let the Music flow Like Light into the Rainbow We know the Dance, we have We still have the chance To break these chains and flow Like Light into the Rainbow Antonio loves the desert Antonio prays for rain Antonio knows that Pleasure Is the child of Pain And lost in La Califusa* When most of my hope was gone Antonio's samba led me To the Amazon We sing the Song Forgotten for so long And let the music flow Like Light into the Rainbow We know the Dance, we have We still have the chance To break these chains and flow Like Light into the Rainbow.
