Halfway Up The Hindu Kush

by Katie Melua

on Piece by Piece (2005)

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
