Caravanserai

  Dm                F        
  This glancing life is like a 
          C       Am
morning star
 Dm           F                    
  A setting sun, or rolling waves 
C          Am
at sea
 Dm            F                  
  A gentle breeze or lightning in 
    C         Am
a storm
 Dm              F              C
  A dancing dream of all eternity
    Dm


  Dm                    F      
  The sand was shimmering in the 
                     C      Am
morning light
  Dm               F              
  And dancing off the dunes so far
        C    Am
 away
  Dm                    F         
  The night held music so sweet, 
    C         Am
so long
  Dm                F             
  And there we lay until the break
     C        Dm
 of day

  Dm                     F        
  We woke that morning at the 
          C       Am
onward call
 Dm                F              
  Our camels bridled up, our 
       C        Am
howdahs full
 Dm                 F             
  The sun was rising in the 
     C      Am
eastern sky

  Dm             F                
  Just as we set out to the 
   C        Dm
desert’s cry

 Dm    F     C   Am  Dm   F    
  Calling, yearning, pulling, 
C  Am  Dm
home to you

 Dm                      F        
  The tents grew smaller as we 
         C       Am
rode away
Dm                  F      
  On earth that tells of many 
             C        Am
passing days
 Dm                      F        
  The months of peace and all the 
                C      Am
years of war
 Dm                 F         
  The lives of love and all the 
           C        Dm
lives of fears

 Dm    F     C   Am  Dm   F    
  Calling, yearning, pulling, 
C  Am  Dm
home to you

 Dm                     F     
  We crossed the river beds all 
              C           Am
etched in stone
 Dm               F               
  And up the mighty mountains ever
         C      Am
 known
 Dm                F              
  Beyond the valleys in the 
   C        Am
searing heat
 Dm             F                 
  Until we reached the 
  C     Dm
caravanserai

 Dm    F     C   Am  Dm   F    
  Calling, yearning, pulling, 
C  Am  Dm
home to you
 Dm    F     C   Am  Dm   F    
  Calling, yearning, pulling, 
C  Am  Dm
home to you

 Dm               F               
  What is this life that pulls me 
        C    Am
far away
 Dm                 F             
  What is that home where we 
            C      Am
cannot reside
 Dm                 F             
  What is that quest that pulls me
           C    Am
 onward
 Dm               F               
  My heart is full when you are by
       C        Dm
 my side


 Dm    F     C   Am  Dm   F    
  Calling, yearning, pulling, 
C  Am  Dm
home to you
 Dm    F     C   Am  Dm   F    
  Calling, yearning, pulling, 
C  Am  Dm
