Caledonia

Caledonia - Dougie MacLean

Lyrics by：Douglas Menzies MacLean

Composed by：Douglas Menzies 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 reason why I seem so far away today

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

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 trying kept on crying

Stolen dreams yes there's no denying

I have travelled hard

Sometimes with conscience flying somewhere with the wind

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 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

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

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
