Enja – Kathmandu

Lyrics:

When the Yeti greets you
I’m veiled by eternal winter
When you’re in Kathmandu
I’ll be on my way to see you

I know nothing and I don’t understand
I know nothing and I don’t understand, but
You are loved and it’s all I can hand
I know nothing and I never want to
I need nothing, I just wanna hold you

When you’re in Kathmandu
I’ll be on my way to join you
Rest when we’re united
Rest, our blood, our hearts, our family

I know nothing and I don’t understand
I know nothing, I don’t know where I am
When I reach you, my light, my life
I’ll need nothing then when I have found you
I know nothing and I never want to
I need nothing, I just wanna hold you
All I have to do is get to Kathmandu

I’ll come to Kathmandu
(Everything's more)
Whenever you’re ready
(Quiet when you're)
Just let me know
(Lying near)
When you want to go
(It's better here)
I’ll come to Kathmandu
(We have been loved)
Whenever it’s time
(Shared it around)
And I’ll greet the dust
(May more grow)
That has once made us
(Until we go)

When I’m needed, mother
I will be there for my sister
I’ll greet my lover
And I’ll meet my maker
I need my mother
Cannot leave my sister
Be far from my lover
Or escape my maker

I know nothing and I’m terrified
I’m scared of something forcing us to tear apart
But when I reach you, my light, my life
I’ll need nothing then when I have found you

I’ll need nothing when we meet in Kathmandu
Nothing more but to lie down with you
It is all that I ever want to do
All I need is to get to Kathmandu

I need my mother
Cannot leave my sister
Be far from my lover
Or escape my maker
