D A
1. I don't know if you can see,
Bm G
The changes that have come over me.
D A
In these last few days I've been afraid,
Bm G
That I might drift away.
D A
I've been telling stories, singing songs,
Bm G
That make me think about where I come from.
D A
That's the reason why I seem
Bm G
So far away today.
Refrain
D A
Let me tell you that I love you,
Bm G
That I think about you all the time.
D
Caledonia you're calling me,
A D
Now I'm going home.
D A
But if I should become a stranger,
Bm G
Know that it would make me more than sad,
A D
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
2. Now 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 lads and left them crying,
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
I have traveled hard sometimes with conscience flying,
Somewhere in the wind.
Refrain
3. Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
The empty room, a 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 flowed,
Then I will disappear.
Refrain
