John Webster feat. Brindaband - Asian Highway
текст песни

Hitching through the desert on the Asian Highway
On the road to Afghanistan
We were together in mind and body
Travelling without a plan
Travelling, travelling,

Beneath an autumn sky
Bounded minds unravelling
Orion way down low in the sky

When we passed through the Indian villages
The people parted like the sea
Grinning and pointing upwards
At the sight of my companion and me
Hitching East with a convoy
Over the Great North Indian plain
Preparing for the night ride
That would evade the heat of the day

Travelling, travelling,
Beneath an unfamiliar sky
Bounded minds unravelling
Orion moving up in the sky

We got down before Kolkata
Where the drivers were to find their beds
And thousands slept the streets at night
Just the pavements to cradle their heads
They'd come in from the country
When their crops had failed out in the fields
Then they'd sent their kids out begging
To get some kind of relief

Unequal world we're part of it
Shopping malls and shanty towns
Yet I've seen a deal of progress
Since that journey over orient ground

Travelling, travelling,
Beneath an unfamiliar sky
Bounded minds unravelling
Orion rising high
