I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky
Katmandu Ill soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Chop me some broken wood
Well start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see

Old satans tree
Katmandu Ill 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 Ill soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home
