Caledonia Songtext
von Dougie MacLean

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 reasons why I seem so far away today

Oh and 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
For if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia′s been everything I've ever had

Oh and 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
Oh and I have tried and kept on trying
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have travelled hard with conscience flying somewhere with the wind


Oh and 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
For 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 couldn′t get any higher
Well 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 flow, well I will disappear

Oh and 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
For if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I′ve ever had
