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
And I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That made me think about where I came from
And That's the reason why I seem so far away today.
Chorus
Oh but let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia you've been everything I've ever had.
Well I've been moved, and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the ladies and left them crying
Stolen dreams yes there's no denying
Traveled hard with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
Repeat chorus
Now I'm sitting here, before the fire
The empty room the forest choir
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 know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands I've shaken and the kisses flowing, I will disappear.
