Caravanserai Lyrics - An Ancient Muse - Loreena Mckennitt

This glancing life is like a morning star 

A setting sun, or rolling waves at sea 

A gentle breeze or lightning in a storm 

A dancing dream of all eternity 

The sand was shimmering in the morning light 

And dancing off the dunes so far away 

The night held music so sweet, so long 

And there we lay until the break of day 

We woke that morning at the onward call 

Our camels bridled up, our howdahs full 

The sun was rising in the eastern sky 

Just as we set out to the desert's cry

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you 

The tents grew smaller as we rode away 

On earth that tells of many passing days 

The months of peace and all the years of war 

The lives of love and all the lives of fears 

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you 

We crossed the river beds all etched in stone 

And up the mighty mountains ever known 

Beyond the valleys in the searing heat 

Until we reached the caravanserai 

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you 

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

What is this life that pulls me far away 

What is that home where we cannot reside 

What is that quest that pulls me onward 

My heart is full when you are by my side 

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
