I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
These last few days I've been afraid I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem so far away today

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
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've kissed the fellas and left them crying, stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I've traveled hard sometimes with conscience, flying somewhere in the wind

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
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 have cooled, don't get any higher, they've withered now, they've gone
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

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
That it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
