RunrigFan Lyr Correction: Caledonia (Dougie MacLean) (79* d) RE: Lyr Correction: Caledonia (Dougie MacLean) 14 Feb 21


I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me,
In these last few day 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.

CHORUS
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 become a stranger,
You 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,
I proved the points that I needed proving,
Lost the friends that I needed losing,
Found others on the way,
I have kissed the lady, I kept on trying
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
I have travelled hard with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

CHORUS

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 shaking and the kisses flow
And I will disappear.
