While I fear someone will push me off of the edge,
The mountain tells me, “Don’t worry darling, I will catch you”.
While everyone’s chasing the sunshine,
I find solace in the dark foothills of Kanchenjunga.
While everyone searches for their one,
I sit under the moonlight, the crisp night wind kissing me all over.
While everyone’s out there fulfilling their dreams;
I wait for the Toy Train to arrive.
While he sings for her,
The soft rustle of leaves put me to sleep.
So, when I fall…deep deep down leaving all the shrieking cries behind,
The Queen of the Hills, my coffee scented Darjeeling—
Sighs and tells me,
“It’s been too long, my love. Welcome home”.
