Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days, I've been afraid
That I might drift away
[Verse 2]
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today
[Verse 3]
Oh, let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home
For if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
[Verse 4]
I have moved, and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
[Verse 5]
I have kissed the ladies, and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
[Verse 6]
But let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home
For if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
[Verse 7]
Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames had cooled, didn't get any higher
Well, they've withered now, they've gone
[Verse 8]
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken, and the kisses flowed
Well, I will disappear
[Verse 9]
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm goin' home
For if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
