I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me

these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away

I've been telling old stories, singing songs that made 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 shall become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything I ever had

Now I have moved and kept on moving, proved the points that I needed proving

Lost some friends, I needed losing, found others on the way

I've kissed the girls and left them crying, stolen dreams, there's no denying

I've traveled hard, with a conscience flying somewhere with the wind

So 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

And if I should become a stranger know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's its been everything I ever had

Now I'm sitting here before the fire, the empty room, the forest choir

The flames that couldn't get any higher, they've withered, now there gone

I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow

When the hands have shaken and kisses flow, I will disappear

So 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

And if I shall become a stranger, know that it'll make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything I ever had

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