Lyrics

Night, within stars above us shining bright
The mystery of their magic light
Shines down upon our caravan
Stars create a map up in the sky
For man to chart his journey by
And guides our desert caravan
Long before we came to be
The desert marble of the sea, big as an ocean
Plenty of days of blistering sunshine
Dried up the earth while it's in motion
Ages and ages and slowly by stages
According to natural plan, all that's left is the sand
So long before man came to be
Little did we know the secret of life and where it goes
We ponder secrets no one knows
Within our desert caravan
Over the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Always the stars are shining brightly
They give direction nightly
Through the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Through the desert and over the sand
Always the stars are shining brightly
They give direction nightly
This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Here in this oasis
My heart knows where its place is
You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Our caravan, our desert caravan
