CALEDONIA
(by Dougie MacLean)
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,
that make me think about where I come from
That's the reason why I seem
so far away today
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's been everything I've ever had
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
I have tried and I've kept on trying,
stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have traveled hard with conscience flying
somewhere with the wind
Let me tell you ...
Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
the empty room the forest choir
The flames that couldn'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 the hands have shaken and the kisses flow
then I will disappear
Let me tell you ...
