From the recording Bangalore
Lyrics
I met a little honey on the Hippie Trail on the road to Kathmandu
We shared a smoke outside a roadside bar it was all that I could do
To photograph my memories, keep 'em all in store
Tattoo on my mind the friendly faces I saw
Won't you take me back to Bangalore
That's the place where my heart resides
Things could be just like before
Find the sanctuary in her eyes
But our love was tragic
And somewhere the magic
Got lost but I never knew why
She's someplace now where the mountains meet the sky
I lost her one day outside Istanbul, turned around then she was gone
A beggar man sat in the marketplace blowing smoke rings round the sun
Just like a ghost she left no shadow by the door
Guess I knew then and there wouldn't see her no more
Won't you take me back to Bangalore
That's the place where my heart resides
Things could be just like before
Find the sanctuary in her eyes
But our love was tragic
And somewhere the magic
Got lost but I never knew why
She's someplace now where the mountains meet the sky
She's keeping it together
Wearing rags and beads and feathers
Meditating, still seeking hush
Somewhere up in the Hindu Kush
Crossing borders, smuggling weed
Watching flames lick poppy seeds
In the desert dreaming of
A world that she can't change because
