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 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
