Halfway Up The Hindu Kush


Katie Melua & Mike Batt


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
halfway up the Hindu Kush
