Antonio`s Song (Michael Franks)

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. Sing the song forgotten for so long And let the music flow like light into the rainbow. We know the dance, we have still half a 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.
