[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
