Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 the place I never been
You showed me lots of things I'd never seen
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
Hindu kush
