Lyrics
[verse]
I hear the rain fall soft on distant ground
I hear the drums of somewhere far unwound
A hundred miles of memory in my mind
Pulling me back to something left behind
[chorus]
Carried by the wind that calls me home
Guided by the stars however far I roam
Something in this longing feels so true
I keep on dreaming I'll return to you
[verse]
Kilimanjaro rises in my thoughts
Rivers I have crossed and rivers I have not
Every plain and shadow calls my name
Nothing in this life will feel the same
[chorus]
Carried by the wind that calls me home
Guided by the stars however far I roam
Something in this longing feels so true
I keep on dreaming I'll return to you
[bridge]
Marimba's ringing soft beneath the moon
Percussion carries like an old-world tune
I know that somewhere out beyond the sea
This ancient longing still belongs to me
[chorus]
Carried by the wind that calls me home
Guided by the stars however far I roam
Something in this longing feels so true
I keep on dreaming I'll return to you
