	A folky, 60's influenced rock number about Radha. She is a milkmaid, who lives in a little village in India, she is also, in Indian mythology, Krsna's ever loving consort. It is said that the only way to get to Krsna's heart is through pleasing her.

	Story Behind the Song I got the inspiraton for this song from the Indian poem "Gita-Govinda", it tells the story of the love between Radha and Krsna, and the Paddhati, another Indian text, which describes all the Attributes of Radha. I recorded this track with my Rickenbacker bass, and my Stratocaster. It's the first track I've recorded since installing my Fender-Lace sensors on it. Lyrics I saw a flower fall from Heaven Came from a world that's fond of truth A lotus in her hair And in her eyes shines what's pure In her eyes shines what's pure I saw a flower fall from Heaven Her lips are red as Bimba fruits And pearls rest on her breasts As she slowly twirls for Krsna's flute Yeah she twirls for Krsna's flute I saw a flower fall from heaven Her locks of hair curl beautifully Kajalla 'round her eyes But her sweetness crushes vanity Yeah she crushed all vanity I saw a flower fall from heaven Her lotus feet are painted red Her limbs are smeared with Camphor As shines the diamond on her head As it shines upon her head
