"Katmandu" by Cat Stevens

Kathmandu


I sit beside the dark 
Beneath the mire 
Cold grey dusty day 
The morning lake 
Drinks up the sky 

Kathmandu I'll soon be seeing you 
And your strange bewildering time 
Will hold me down 

Chop me some broken wood 
We'll start a fire 
White warm light the dawn 
And help me see 
Old satan's tree 

Kathmandu I'll soon be touching you 
And your strange bewildering time 
Will hold me down 

Pass me my hat and coat 
Lock up the cabin 
Slow night treat me right 
until I go 
Be nice to know 

Kathmandu I'll soon be seeing you 
And your strange bewildering time 
Will keep me home
