  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
