Loreena McKennitt - Caravanserai
https://youtu.be/4QpRCK1IbiE?si=XUs-MTelj5uiuYfO

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

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st that involves wearing costumes, trick-or-treating, and carving jack-o'-lanterns. The word "Halloween" comes from the phrase "All Hallow's Eve," which is the evening before All Saints' Day, a Christian holiday that takes place on November 1st. The word "hallow" refers to saints, and "hallowed" means "holy". The first records of the word "Halloween" date back to the 1550s.

Lyrics
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Tryna make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the

veins meet, yeah
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)

Well, I've never prayed but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singin' to me now

Lyrics
I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run for

In every man, in every hand
In every kiss, you understand
That living is for other men
I hope you too will understand

I've gotta tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
These feelings should not be in the man
