I don't know if you can see 
The changes that [bad word] 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 

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you 
That I think about you all the time 
Caledonia, you're calling me 
And now I'm going home 
If I should [bad word] a stranger 
You know that it would make me more than sad 
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had 

Oh, and 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 on the way 
Oh, and I have tried and kept on trying 
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying 
I have traveled hard with conscience flying 
Somewhere with the wind 

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you 
That I think about you all the time 
Caledonia, you're calling me 
And now I'm going home 
If I should [bad word] a stranger 
You know that it would make me more than sad 
Caledonia's been everything 
I've ever had 

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 are shaken and the kisses float 
But I will disappear 

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you 
That I think about you all the time 
Caledonia, you're calling me 
And now I'm going home 
If I should [bad word] a stranger 
You know that it would make me more than sad 
Caledonia's been everything 
I've ever had
