[Verse]
I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me,
And these last few days, I've been afraid, that I might slip away,
I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from,
That's the reason why I seem so far away today.

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

[Verse]
I have moved and I kept on moving, I proved the points that I needed proving,
Lost the friends I needed losing, found others long the way,
I kissed fair maidens and left them sighing, I've stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
I've travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying somewhere neath the wind.

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

[Verse]
I'm sitting here before the fire, the empty room, oh, the forest choir,
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher, they've withered now, they have gone,
And I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow,
When the hands have shaken, the kisses flown, then I will disappear.

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