Caravanserai - 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
