Strum
D-DU-UDU
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)
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 shall become a stranger,
 Know that it  would make me more than sad,
 Caledonia's been everything  I've ever had.
 Now I have moved and kept on moving,
 Proved the points that I needed proving,
 Lost the friends that I needed losing,
 Found others on the way.
 I have kissed the lads and left them crying,
 Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
 I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience
 flying,
 Somewhere in the wind.
 (Chorus)
 Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
 The empty room, a forest choir,
 The flames have cooled. don't get any higher,
 They've withered now they've gone.
 But I'm steady thinking my way is clear,
 And I know what I will do tomorrow,
 When hands have shaken, the kisses flowed,
 Then I will disappear.
 (Chorus)
 This is a fantastic song by a fantastic songwriter about a fantastic place.
 Was suprised that no-one had bothered to put it on the site before now!
