Halfway Up the Hindu Kush

The first time that I saw you
I said for goodness sake
That man's got the power
He's a charmer with a snake
I was thrilled and fascinated
But somehow liberated
When you took me to a place I'd never been
You showed me lots of things I'd never seen

You set me free
As if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu Kush

The next time that I saw you, you looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet when I felt it begin to rise
I kinda got the feeling
I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of only looking at the sky
You picked me up and showed me how to fly

You set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu Kush

From halfway up the Hindu
From halfway up the Hindu
From halfway up the Hindu Kush

You set me free, as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
And I love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the Hindu Kush
Halfway up the Hindu Kush
