Caledonia

MacLean Dougie

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 
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today 

Oh and 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 
If I should become a stranger 
you know that it would make me more than sad 
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had 

Oh and I have moved on 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've kept on trying 
stolen dreams, yes there's no denying 
I have travelled hard, with my conscience flying, 
somewhere with the wind 

Oh and 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 
If I should become a stranger 
you 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 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 flowed 
then I will disappear

Oh and 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 
If I should become a stranger 
you know that it would make me more than sad 
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
