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
 So I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from
 And that's the reason why I seem so far away today
 
 Ah but let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time
 Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
 But if I should become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad
 Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
 
 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 tried and I've kept on trying stolen dreams, yes there's no denying*
 I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind
 
 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 they've gone
 But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow
 When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow Oh I will disappear
