I don't know if you can see, The changes that have come over me These last few days I've been afraid, That I might drift away
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
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 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 kept on moving, Proved the points that I needed proving, Lost the friends that I needed losing, Found others on the way
I've kissed the ladies and left them crying, Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying, I've travelled hard sometimes with conscious flying, Somewhere with the wind
Chorus
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 flowed, Then I will disappear
