Caravanserai歌词

作词 : Loreena McKennitt
作曲 : 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

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
