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 And that's the reason why I seem so far-away today Oh, 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 But if I should become a stranger You 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 have kissed the ladies and left them crying Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying Somewhere with the wind Oh, 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 But if I should become a stranger You 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 that could not 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 are shaken, and the kisses flow Well, I will disappear Oh, 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 But if I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
