Katie Melua Halfway Up The Hindu Kush song lyrics

Ooh, 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 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
