I feel the sky tumbling down — tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around.”

“Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load,
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I've been standing on the sound
Of some open-hearted people going down.”

Out there in the crowd,
Say I still remember
Promises we vowed.

But my dream came tumbling down.
Call the boys and tell them,
Say I won't be there.”

“I almost never go to temples. I don't find the time. I'm not religious in that sense. My religion is my music. Lord Krishna is my God.

Hariprasad Chaurasia (1938) Indian bansuri player
