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
