I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold gray dusty day
The mornin' lake
Drinks up the sky
Katmandu, I'll soon be seein' you
And your strange bewilderin' 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 touchin' you
And your strange bewilderin' 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 seein' you
And your strange bewilderin' time
Will keep me home
