Caravan
Chet Atkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The myst'ry of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The mem'ry of our caravan
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The bright stars shining down on us in the dark night sky
The myst'ry of their fading light
The disappearing light of the stars as morning approaches
That shines upon our caravan
The light reflecting off of and illuminating our traveling caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
You rest your head on my shoulder as we slowly move forward
Across the sand so I may keep
Moving through the desert, so that I can cherish this moment and memory
The mem'ry of our caravan
Holding onto the memory of this journey together
This is so exciting
My heart is pounding with exhilaration
You are so inviting
You are irresistibly appealing to me
Resting in my arms
You are relaxing in the safety and comfort of my embrace
As I thrill to the magic charms
As I am enchanted by your wonderful qualities and personality
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
Of you next to me in this unending, open expanse of blue desert skies
My dream of love is coming true
My dream of being with the one I love is coming to fruition during this journey
Within our desert caravan
As we travel in our small band of travelers across the vast desert wilderness
