Verse 1

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 came from.
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today.

Chorus

Ah, but let me tell you that I love you,
That I think about you all the time.
Caledonia you're calling me,
And now I'm going home.
If I should become a stranger,
Know that it would make me more than sad,
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.

Verse 2

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 have kissed the ladies and left them crying,
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying,
Somewhere with the wind.

Chorus

Ah, but let me tell you that I love you,
That I think about you all the time.
Caledonia you're calling me,
And now I'm going home.
If I should become a stranger,
Know that it would make me more than sad,
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.

Verse 3

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 flown,
Then I will disappear.

Chorus

Ah, but let me tell you that I love you,
That I think about you all the time.
Caledonia you're calling me,
And now I'm going home.
If I should become a stranger,
Know that it would make me more than sad,
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
