Mona Bone Jakon

I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey 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

I wish i knew, i wish i knew
What makes me, me, and what makes you, you.
It's just another point of view, ooo.
A state of mind i'm going through, yes.
So what i see is never true, ahhh.

I wish i could tell, i wish i could tell
What makes a heaven what makes a hell.
And do i get to ring my bell, ooo.
Or land up in some dusty cell, no.
While others reach the big hotel, yeah.

I wish i had, i wish i had
The secret of good, and the secret of bad.
Why does this question drive me mad? ahhh.
'cause i was taught when but a lad, yes,
That bad was good and good was bad, ahhh.

I wish i knew the mystery of
That thing called hate, and that thing called love.
What makes the in-between so rough? ahhh.
Why is it always push and shove? ahhh
I guess i just don't know enough, yes.

Yes i'm going to be a pop star.
Yes i'm going to be a pop star, now.
Yes i'm going to be a pop star.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
I'm a pop star.

Yes, i'm going on the t.v. now.
Yes, i'm going on the t.v. now.
Yes, i'm going on the t.v. now.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
On the t.v.

Yes, i'm going on my first gig.
Yes, i'm going on my first gig.
Yes, i'm going on my first gig.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
On my first gig.

Now listen to me,
La da na la, na da la...

Well, i'm going to the cold bank, cold bank.
Yes, i'm going to the cold bank.
Yes, i'm going to the cold bank.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
At the cold bank.

Mama see me!
La da na la, na da la...

Well, i'm coming, coming, coming home now.
Yes, i'm coming, coming, coming home now.
Yes, i'm coming, coming, coming home now.
Oh mama, mama see me, mama, mama see me
I'm home.

My lady d'arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My lady d'arbanville why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low,

My lady d'arbanville why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

My lady d'arbanville, you look so cold tonight.
Your lips feel like winter,
Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white.

My lady d'arbanville, why do you sleep so still?
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill.

La la la la la....

My lady d'arbanville why does it grieve me so?
But your heart seems so silent.
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low,

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie,
I'll always be with you
This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

Now maybe you're right and maybe you're wrong
But i ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long.
It was getting so good why then, where did it go?
I can't think about it no more tell me if you know.
You were loving me, i was loving you
But now there aint nothing but regretting
Nothing, nothing but regretting everything we do.

I put up with your lies like you put up with mine,
But god knows we should have stopped somewhere,
We could have taken the time,
But time has turned, yes, some call it the end.
So tell me, tell me did you really love me like a friend?
You know you don't have to pretend,
It's all over now it'll never happen again, no no no,
It'll never happen again , it won't happen again
Never, never, never, it'll never happen again
No, no, no, no.....

So maybe you're right, and maybe you're wrong
But i ain't gonna argue with you no more
I've done it for too long.
It was getting so good why then, where did it go?
I can't think about it no more tell me if you know.
You were loving me, i was loving you
But now there aint nothing but regretting
Nothing, nothing but regretting everything we do.

I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words,
Until i found somebody, there was no one i preferred,
My heart was made of stone, my eyes saw only misty grey,
Until you came into my life girl, i saw everyone that way.
Until i found the one i needed at my side,
I think i would have been a sad man all my life.

I think i see the light coming to me,
Coming through me giving me a second sight.
So shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine.

I used to walk alone, every step seemed the same.
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain.
Look up and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor.
Until you came into my life girl, i saw nothing, nothing more.
Until i found the one i needed at my side,
I think i would have been a sad man all my life.

I think i see the light coming to me,
Coming through me giving me a second sight.
So shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine.
