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've never been. You showed me lots of things i've never seen
You set me free As if you've 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've 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've taken me Halfway up the hindu kush And i love you For showing me the view From halfway up the hindu kush
