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. I've been telling stories, singing songs, That make me think about where I come from. That's the reason why I seem So far away today.
(Chorus) 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, Know that it would make me more than sad, Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
Now I have moved and kept on moving, Proved the points that I needed proving, Lost the friends that I needed losing, Found others on the way. I have kissed the lads and left them crying, Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying, I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience flying, Somewhere in the wind.
(Chorus)
Now I'm sitting here before the fire, The empty room, a 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 flowed, Then I will disappear.
