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

That I might drift away

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
