Caravanserai Lyrics
Artist(Band):Loreena McKennitt
Review The Song (3)Print the Lyrics
Music and lyric: 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

Review about Caravanserai

This is such a beautiful song... | Reviewer: Tim L. | 11/28/2008

I fell in love with Loreena McKennitt a couple of years ago when her song "The Mummer's Dance" came on the radio. I recognized the song, but hadn't heard it in several years. At the time I had no idea who sang it. Since then, I've discovered Loreena McKennitt can take any poem and turn it into heavenly music. She has the most wonderful voice I've ever heard and I hope when I go to Heaven, she'll be there playing her harp and singing, 'cause she has the voice of an angel. Caravanserai is my current favorite song from her although Beneath a Phrygian Sky is moving up on my list. Caravanserai is a middle-eastern word meaning inn, go figure. Anyway, listen to the song it is a work of poetic genius and Loreena's vocals are so crisp and pure...the chorus is so beautifully sung.

One of the best songs I've heard combining east and west.
A friend of mine was travelling with his father in their car. He puts the record on. 2 minutes later father asks "where is the singer from?" "Ireland" the boy answers. "I tought so. They make the most emotional (hisli) songs in Europe." father says.
