Jigmay - Shigatse Hotel Lyrics

Hold still, father, hear the mountains roar
The sound of people follows us no more
We've crossed the river, blue as the stranger's eyes
Lift me in your arms and I won't cry

My ears are ringing from the sound of guns
I see those horses but they don't run
How, mother, can I believe?

White roses blooming on the lawn
The children playing by the tree
Travelers lurking by the bell
Our little Shigatse Hotel

One day, daughter, you shall live to see
The path that leads to life beyond your dreams
The farther we go further hope will take
Lie still, darling, as we swim across this lake

The roads will bless us another day
I'll hold your promise upon my breast
What I couldn't you'll find yourself

White roses blooming on the lawn
The children playing by the tree
Travelers lurking by the bell
Our little Shigatse Hotel
