Caledonia - The Barra MacNeils

Caledonia Lyrics

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...
I've been telling stories, singing songs
That make me thing about where I come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today...
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time.
Caledonia, you're calling me
Now I'm going home.
But if I should become a stranger
It would make me more than sad.
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.

I have moved and I've kept on moving.
Proved the parts that needed proving.
Lost the friends that needed losing.
Found others on the way.
I have kissed the fellas and left them sighing.
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying.
Travelled hard, with conscious flying
Somewhere with the wind.
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time.
Caledonia, you're calling me
Now I'm going home.
But if I should become a stranger
It would make me more than sad.
Caledonia's been everything I ever had.
Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room's a forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they're gone.
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I'll do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken, the kisses flowed,
Then I'll disappear.
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time.
Caledonia, you're calling me
Now I know you're mine.
But if I should become a stranger
It would make me more than sad.
Caledonia's been everything I ever had.
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time.
Caledonia's been everything I ever had.
