Caledonia Songtext
von The Barra MacNeils

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
I′ve been telling stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I come from
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today

Oh, let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I′m going home
But if I should become a stranger
You know it would make me more than sad
Caledonia′s been everything I've ever had


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 fellas, and left them saying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard with coattails flying
Somewhere in the wind

Oh, let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you′re calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
You know 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′ve could, 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′ll do tomorrow
When the hands are shaken and the kisses flow
Then I will disappear


Oh, let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I know your mind
But if I should become a stranger
You know it would make me more than sad
Caledonia′s been everything I've ever had

Oh, let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia's been everything I′ve ever had
