Lyrics

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these past few days now I've been afraid
That I might slip away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I come from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today
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 should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Oh I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
I've lost the friends I needed losing
Found others on the way
I've kissed the fair girls and left them sighing
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I've travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
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 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
An empty room, a 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 what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow
Then I will disappear
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 should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
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 should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
