Halfway up the hindu kush

Katie Melua


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 thrille 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
