   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
