  • I sit beside the dark
    Beneath the mire
    Cold, gray, 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 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 be seeing you
    And your strange, bewildering time
    Will keep me home Writer/s: Yusuf Islam
