Jane Siberry - Caravan lyrics

rate me

It was a snowy night

And the stars were shining bright

hanging heavy in the absence of light

A caravan across the desert land

I was there and

You were there

And something in our hearts

told us to keep...keep moving

Something about that star

...that star...

How far

is the nearest place to kneel?

And how far

is the nearest home?

And how far how far

can you go with only a dream?

With only a hope?

You hold the vision

You hold it steady

Oh there was always someone

who would take the children

And keep them entertained

There was always someone

who would participate

There was always someone who would

know how it worked

there

over there

And now we sit on the steps

at the side of the square

There are three old men

sitting in their chairs

And if anyone wants to know

which way any of us should go

They will hold

They will contain

They will cup the refrain

Hold it steady hold it steady

hold it steady

hold it steady

It was a snowy night

and our caravan

moved along in starlight
