I sit beside the dark Beneath the mire Cold grey dusty day The morning lake Drinks up the sky Katmandu I'll soon by 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 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 by seeing you And your strange bewildering time Will keep me home
