The Flute Player
The ‘fireball’ was sinking low;
And darkness swept o’er the vale;
And the villagers awaited eagerly –
Him – who makes their hearts sail.
And darkness swept o’er the vale;
And the villagers awaited eagerly –
Him – who makes their hearts sail.
Then was heard a distant tune –
Soft like love, Soothing like prayer –
Which grew louder every moment;
He came, at last, the Flute Player.
Soft like love, Soothing like prayer –
Which grew louder every moment;
He came, at last, the Flute Player.
He walked down the hamlet lane
Playing the most lingering tunes;
A surreal aura evolved, and,
The listeners forgot their haunting pains.

The listeners forgot their haunting pains.
A maiden slips into the world of dreams,
Oblivious to her worldly part…
Enchanted and mesmerized she sings –
‘Oh, oh, the Flute Player of my heart!’

Enchanted and mesmerized she sings –
‘Oh, oh, the Flute Player of my heart!’
The young ones also took a ride
To joys of bliss as the music loomed.
He weaved magic with his flute –
And they merrily danced to his tunes.
To joys of bliss as the music loomed.
He weaved magic with his flute –
And they merrily danced to his tunes.
But still with all his lust ’n charm,
The Flute Player remains all alone.
He swaps our sorrows for divine joy,
Yet, pines for something, to us, not known.
The Flute Player remains all alone.
He swaps our sorrows for divine joy,
Yet, pines for something, to us, not known.
He plays his flute with burning zest,
Perhaps to make his pains flow
In tunes that fill thy heart with Joy –
Wherein may he find his secret cove.

In tunes that fill thy heart with Joy –
Wherein may he find his secret cove.
