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 --- Halfway Up the Hindu Kush - Katie Melua
