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 
I've been telling old stories, singing songs 
That make me think about where [bad word] from 
That's the reason why I seem 
So far away today 

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 should [bad word] a stranger 
Know that it would make me more than sad 
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had 

Now 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 
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying 
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying 
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying 
Somewhere with the wind 

Now I'm sitting here before the fire 
The empty room, the 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 float 
Then I will disappear 

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had 
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had 
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
