Caravans & Violins by Phill Raymond 1st Verse I take you to the ocean, sun bright in the sky. I lay down beside you, and bathe in your eyes. One wistful passing moment, to be held in your arms. I long for the pleasure, to drown in your charms. Chorus Caravans and violins, echo down the dale. United in the morning, loves freedom shall prevail. 2nd Verse I watch you from the shadow, as you're passing by. I dream of contentment, to walk by your side. Should you ever think of me, no barrier retained. Come climb on my chariot, loves freedom shall remain. Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=QYOcVBXV3OU A.I.
