Caledonia

I don't know if you can see

the changes that have come over me

in these past 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've come from

that's the reason why I seem

so far away today

so let me tell you that I love you

that I think about you all the time

caledonia, you're calling me,

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've ever had

now 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

and I've kissed the girls and left them crying

stolen dreams oh there's no denying

and I've traveled hard sometimes with 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,

now I'm going home

if I shall become a stranger

know that it would make me more than sad

caledonia you're the best friend i've ever had

now I'm sitting here before the fire

the empty room, the 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 hands have shaken,

the kisses float

then I will disappear

let me tell you that I love you

that I think about you all the time

caledonia, you're calling me,

now i'm going home

and if I shall become a stranger

know that it would make me more than sad

caledonia's been everything I've ever had

caledonia's been everything I've ever had
