Caledonia (Dougie Maclean) Nick, Stephen, Ian line-up

 

I can tell thatyou can see the changes that have come over me

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 I come from

That's the reason that I seem so far away today

 

Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time

Caledonia you're calling me', now I'm going home

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 I've kept on moving, proved the points that I needed proving

Lost the friends, I needed losing, found others on the way

I've kissed the ladies, left them crying, stolen dreams, yes there's no denying

I have traveled far with conscience flying somewhere near the winds

 

I'm sitting here beside the fire, the empty room the forest choir

The flames that wouldn't grow any higher have withered now and gone

My mind is set, my path is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow

When the hands are shaken and kisses fly, I will disappear
