I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold gray 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
Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
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
Beneath the mire
Cold gray 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
Katmandu I'll soon be touching you
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

Well, it's spelled Kathmandu, I dont think that he would have made that mistake. I his position at that time reflect maybe the same feelings that someone trying to climb Mt. Everest. He was facing superstardom at this time, a daunting thing to stare in the eye especialy for someone like him. I think the mood of this song is slightly expectant of things to come
The part that i think has the most meaning to is,"Katmandu I'll soon be touching you And your strange bewildering time Will hold me down." Replace "katmandu" with superstardom, doesnt flow, but it makes sense....well as close making senxe as any of Cat's songs.
