about

A gentle slide based blues. Ode to the beautiful, magical ancient city of Kathmandu.

lyrics

SWEET SWYAMBHU SUNRISE
VERSE 1
Bells ringing, girls singing,
incense and sandalwood smells in the air
Priest praying, kids playing,
monkeys and monks walking round everywhere

CHORUS
It's a sweet Swyambhu sunrise
Just around the stroke of dawn
And I look into your eyes
And I look down at your form
And time flies beneath Swyambhu skies
And I gaze into sweet Swyambhu eyes

VERSE 2
Lamps burning, prayer wheels turning
People walk round here with beads in their hands
Chanting lama teaches Dharma
I feel like I've come to an ancient old land

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Statues and stupas and temples and places to pray
Pictures and postcards and posters and bowls that you play
And I stand and stare out at the view
And I soak in the sunlit scene with you

VERSE 3
Day gets going, people flowing
Women in saris put paint in their hair
Babas blessing, men confessing
Offerings of flowers and food everywhere
