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
