I sit beside the dark

Beneath the mire

Cold grey dusty day

The morning lake

Drinks up the sky



Katmandu

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 Satans tree



Katmandu

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



Katmandu

I'll soon be seeing you

And your strange

Bewildering time

Will keep me home
