I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
These last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs that made 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 shall become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I ever had
Now I have moved and kept on moving, proved the points that I needed proving
Lost some friends, I needed losing, found others on the way
I've kissed the girls and left them crying, stolen dreams, there's no denying
I've traveled hard, with a conscience flying somewhere with the wind
So 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
And if I should become a stranger know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's its been everything I ever had
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 there gone
I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken and kisses flow, I will disappear
So 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
And if I shall become a stranger, know that it'll make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I ever had
Caledonia, you're calling me, and now I'm going home"
