[00:08.46]CARAVANSERAI
[00:12.77]
[00:14.68]Music and lyric: Loreena McKennitt
[00:15.26]
[02:21.41]This glancing life is like a morning star
[02:27.18]A setting sun, or rolling waves at sea
[02:32.72]A gentle breeze or lightning in a storm
[02:38.48]A dancing dream of all eternity
[02:43.26]
[02:43.66]The sand was shimmering in the morning light
[02:48.62]And dancing off the dunes so far away
[02:54.02]The night held music so sweet, so long
[02:59.42]And there we lay until the break of day
[03:04.48]
[03:10.44]We woke that morning at the onward call
[03:15.86]Our camels bridled up, our howdahs full
[03:21.29]The sun was rising in the eastern sky
[03:26.63]Just as we set out to the desert’s cry
[03:30.20]
[03:31.74]Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
[03:51.09]
[03:56.48]The tents grew smaller as we rode away
[04:01.73]On earth that tells of many passing days
[04:07.12]The months of peace and all the years of war
[04:12.28]The lives of love and all the lives of fears
[04:16.17]
[04:17.28]Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
[04:36.19]
[04:41.09]We crossed the river beds all etched in stone
[04:46.32]And up the mighty mountains ever known
[04:51.51]Beyond the valleys in the searing heat
[04:56.71]Until we reached the caravanserai
[05:00.96]
[05:01.32]Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
[05:22.23]Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
[05:42.46]
[06:01.30]What is this life that pulls me far away
[06:06.72]What is that home where we cannot reside
[06:12.05]What is that quest that pulls me onward
[06:17.46]My heart is full when you are by my side
[06:21.39]
[06:22.66]Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
[06:43.34]Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
