CALEDONIA
-Dougie Maclean
(c) copyright 1989 Limetree Arts and Music
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 old stories, singing old songs
That make me think about where I come from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today...
CHORUS: Ah, but let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're callin' me and now I'm goin' 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
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 ladies and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have traveled hard with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind...
Now I'm sitting here, before the fire,
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames that couldn't get any higher
They're withered, now, they're gone
But I'm steady thinkin' my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken and the kisses flowed
Then I will disappear....
