Caledonia

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
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs
To make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today

Oh, but 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
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
Oh and I have tried and I kept on trying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I've traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

Oh, but 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
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
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
I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear

Oh, but 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
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
