He
came from the mountains to our little town
And he never spoke a word But he played every day in a lovely way Little tunes I had never heard When he played his tune His eyes seemed to be like mirrors Of times gone by I don't know if I saw what I should not see But I looked into his heart I looked right into his heart Chorus: He's an Indio boy And his folks far away, they are praying Indio boy, come home when you're a man He's an Indio boy And he longs for the girl who is waiting Indio boy, come home as soon as you can I found out one evening only by chance Where he spent his lonely nights There he slept in the church On the marble floor And his flute laid by his side As I woke him up and said, won't you come To my house where it's and warm? He said, please let me be, for I am not free And I don't wanna break your heart I don't wanna break your heart Chorus When early one morning I come to the place Where he used to play his flute He was gone, but a song that will never die Seemed to linger on in the sky Chorus |
