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

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

But if I should become a stranger, you 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

But 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 that couldn'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 flow, well I will disappear

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
