Jane Siberry Caravan (alternate Version) Lyrics

Caravan (alternate Version) Lyrics

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
