Caledonia

I don't know if you can see

The changes that have come over me

In these last few days I've been afraid

We might drift away

I've been telling old stories, singing songs

That make me think about where I come from

That's the reason why I seem

So far away today

So let me tell you that I love you

And I think about you all the time

Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home

And if I shall become a stranger

Know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Now I've moved and I've kept on moving

Proved the points that I needed proving

I've lost the friends that I needed losing

Found others on the way

I have kissed the lads and left them crying

Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying

I've travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying

Somewhere in the wind

So let me tell you that I love you

And I think about you all the time

Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home

And if I shall become a stranger

Know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Now I'm sitting here before the fire

An empty room and the forest choir

The flames have cooled, don't get any higher

They've withered, now they've gone

But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear

And I know just what I will do tomorrow

When the hands have shaken and the kisses float

Then I'll disappear

So let me tell you that I love you

And I think about you all the time

Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home

But if I shall become a stranger

Know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
