CALEDONIA
By: The Barra MacNeils
 
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 think about where I come from.
That's the reason why I seem so far away today.
 
CHORUS:
Oh, 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.
 
I have moved and I've kept on moving,
Proved the points that I needed proving,
Lost the friends that I needed losing,
Found others along the way.
I have kissed the fellas and left them sighing.
Stolen dreams there's no denying.
I have travelled hard with conscience flying,
Somewhere in the wind.
 
Oh let me tell you that I love you,
I think about you all the time.
Caledonia, you're calling me,
I'm coming home.
 
Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
The empty room a forest choir.
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher,
They're 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 are shaken, the kisses flowed,
Then I'll disappear.
 
Oh let me tell you that I love you.
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.
