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

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 I've 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 fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I've traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
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'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 flown
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
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
