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

These past few days, I've been afraid that I might drift away

So, I've been telling old stories and singing songs that make me think about where I came from

That's the reason why I seem so far away today

Oh, 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

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

Caledonia has been everything I've ever had

And I have moved and I've kept on moving, I've proved the points that I needed proving

Lost the friends that I needed losing, found others along the way

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

I've traveled far, with conscience flying somewhere with the wind

Oh, 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

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

Caledonia has been everything I've ever had

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

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

But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I don't know what I'll do tomorrow

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

Oh, 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

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

Caledonia has been everything I've ever had

Oh, Caledonia has been everything I've ever had
