Dougie MacLean 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 come from
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today

Chorus
Oh and Let me tell you that I love you and I think
about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger you know that it would
make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Oh and I have moved on 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 tried and I've kept on trying - stolen
dreams, yes there's no denying
I have travelled hard, with my conscience flying,
somewhere with the wind (Ch)

Now I'm sitting here before the fire, the empty room,
the forest choir
The flames that couldn'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 and the kisses flowed
then I will disappear
