Cat Stevens - Katmandu Lyrics
I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky
Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
Chop me some broken wood
We'll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old satan's tree
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down
Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
until I go
Be nice to know
Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home

Cat Stevens Katmandu Comments
He sounds a lot like Nick Drake on this track. Or maybe Nick Drake sounded like Cat Stevens.
Thank you Cat!
The tillerman pours me some tea.
Great song and great city :)
One of my most favorite of songs. The syncopation is delightful, and the lyrics are so compelling-- and, as is usual with Cat Stevens, perfectly consistent in tone with the music.
He is pure genius, nothing less....
@Étoile Filante I agree. I think he's incredibly underappreciated-- probably because it's folk music, and so a bit on the outside of popular music.
Excellent from album of excellence have the album from early 70s. We of that age know what we have lost.......
Yes, we lost a full pack of good, fantastic, marvelous of an age, on return we got this amazing way - the internet - we have now where we can enjoy more than millions of songs, (As you probably do, I would prefer to keep the first, even at the cost of the second) so let's at least enjoy what was left to us. Best regards.
Beautiful song of Cat Stevens always loved his music and still do.
Peter Gabriel on flute.
I didn't have noticed that before your comment, Thanks.
@Drake Magnum 19
@Drake Magnum Peter did this in between the first two Genesis albums so he was probably not very well known yet(as a flautist or singer).
dereckvon : i didn‘t know that 😳
I heard this on radioparadise. Nice tune.
