Testo Sweet Caledonia

It was a Highland wedding
For two love stricken faces
Treacle wasted and hearts were full
In these cobblestone built walls
With luscious garden pathways that lined the outside and down the hill
There was an old weeping willow
That stood where the path opened
It had a rope swing and white wood bench We would sit there for ages
While our parents' all drank like sailors
Wondering where these stars hide

How did I get so far
How did I get so far
Running away from you?
How did I get so caught up
How did I get so lost
Trying to hide from you?
My childhood

We'd use pocket knives to carve weapons
And venture out into the woods
That stretched for miles from the backyard fence Beneath the canopies we'd fight imaginary beings
Like all the ones we'd dream at night

How did I get so far
How did I get so far
Running away from you?
How did I get so caught up
How did I get so lost
Trying to hide from you?
My childhood

But I can still taste sweet Caledonia
Sweet Caledonia
Sweet Caledonia (oh you're fading away from me)
Sweet Caledonia

Yeah I can still taste sweet Caledonia
You see it when you start to grow
How far the little things they go

Yeah I can still taste sweet Caledonia
Our youth is like a brick in Rome
It's hard to ever really know
What'll stay with you when you're older
