Testo Caledonia

Testo Caledonia

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've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today
Oh but let me tell you that I love you
And that I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, and now I'm going home
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 girls and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
Oh but let me tell you that I love you
And that I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, and now I'm going home
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'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
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear
Oh but let me tell you that I love you
And that I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, and now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
