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 tellin' old stories singin' songs
That make me think about where I've come from;
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time.
Caledonia, you're callin' me 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 movin',
Proved the points that I needed provin',
Lost the friends that I needed losin' ,
Found others on the way.
I've kissed the girls and left them cryin',
Stolen dreams?yes there's no denyin'.
I've traveled hard with conscience flyin'
Somewhere in the wind.
Chorus
Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
The empty room and the forest choir.
The flames that could not get any higher,
They've withered, now they're gone.
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear.
I know what I must do tomorrow.
When the last hand's shaken, kisses thrown,
I will disappear.
Repeat Chorus
