Lyrics
Back From Kathmandu
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the dream you were someone different
You and everyone else all at once
You were beautiful, you were beautiful
In the dream you were just like you are
You loved everyone like a sovereign
Half magnanimous, half unimpressed
And I was talkin' too much, and I was tryin' too hard
In the dream it was just like it is
Everything was so simple
Things are and they always will be
Oh, you are the answer to the question that is me
Yeah, in the dream it was just like it is
We were captive there in a prison
Where everyone was guilty by mistake
It was infinite, it was infinite
In the dream it was just like it is
And I, I asked: Is that good for you?
You said: No, probably not
But everybody needs to get through the night
And love is all we've got
Yeah, in the dream it was just like it is
Yeah, in the dream it was just like it is
In the dream you were someone different
You and everyone else all at once
You were beautiful, you were beautiful
In the dream you were just like you are
