Cover art for Caravanserai lyrics by Loreena McKennitt

Such a gorgeous song.

I think this song can take on two meanings. The first would be that a person is reflecting, telling the story of when they once traveled upon a caravanserai upon the "desert's cry". A very grandiose story, as if you're reading a storybook, like Loreena so often does.

The second meaning is that a person is reflecting on their life, which resembles a person living the life of their journey as if they were trying to reach a caravanserai. Either way, this song is beautiful and gives you memories almost as if you lived on the silk road. :-)
