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

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

  Dm                     F                  C       Am 
  We woke that morning at the onward call 
 Dm                F                     C        Am 
  Our camels bridled up, our howdahs full 
 Dm                 F                  C      Am  
  The sun was rising in the eastern sky 
  Dm             F                   C        Dm 
  Just as we set out to the desert?s cry 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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