Watch the skys dawning on you
Soaring over country land
Message comes from Kathmandu
Sky is blue and clear
program your outing
gaze at clouds in this window pane
where is your wish going
the wind in control to [...]

lazing in the sun we glide
soon you come from watch
touched you save me just in time
storm is out to catch
program your chartering
gaze at clouds in this window pane
stay patched through onto me
crawling into trouble that's plain

watch-out storms in kathmandu
calling from country air
mes-sage comes from kathmandu
sky is blue and clear
program your outing
watching now your system for rains
[...] is forty story
{ Musical collage with "dou dou dou" sample-chant }
[don't come in again like that it isn't funny
and I can pay someone else to make your mistakes]
Oh island of the soul
Valleys hushed and white with snow
Ireland's eye - you linger with me 'til the day I die
Oh how it hurts to go
The waters ebb and flow
The changing seasons come and go
Ireland's eye - forever reaching up into the sky
Oh how I'll miss you so
The sunlight dancing on your rocky shores
The moonlight playing upon the water
Your memory will stay with me forever-more
Wherever I may roam
Stay with my dreams I will see you
Safe in my heart I will keep you
