Caledonia
words & music: Dougie MacLean
Let me tell you that I love you
and I think about you all the time,
Caledonia youre calling me
Now Im going home dont know if you can see
the changes that have come over me
In these last few days Ive been afraid
that I might drift away.
Ive been telling old stories, singing songs
that made me think about where I came from.
Thats the reason why I seem so far away today.
Chorus
Let me tell you that I love you
and I think about you all the time,
Caledonia, youre calling me
Now Im going home
But if I should become a stranger,
you know it would make me more than sad,
Caledonias been everything Ive ever had
I have moved and Ive 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 kept on trying,
stolen dreams, yes theres no denying
Ive travelled far, sometimes with conscious flying
somewhere with the wind. Wind
(Chorus)
Now Im sitting here before the fire,
the empty room, the forest choir,
The flames that couldnt get any higher,
theyve withered, now theyve gone.
But Im steady thinking my way is clear,
and I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow,
now I will disappear!
Chorus
Im going home
