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 old stories

and singing songs

that make me think

about where I've come from.

That's the reason

why I seem so far away today.

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

'Cos Caledonia's been everything

I've ever had

Now I have moved and I've kept on moving

I've proved the points

that I needed proving

I've lost the friends

that I needed losing

found others on the way

I have kissed the girls

and I left them crying

Stolen dreams yes there's no denying

I have traveled hard

with conscience flying

somewhere with the wind

So let me tell you that I love you

That I think about you all the time

'Cos 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

'Cos Caledonia's been everything

I've ever had

I'm sitting here

before the fire

the empty room

and 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 the hands have shaken

and the kisses float

then I will disappear

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.

And if I should become a stranger

Know that it would make me more than sad

'Cos Caledonia's been everything

I've ever had

Yes Caledonia's been everything

I've ever had
