Caledonia

(album: Wellerman - The Album - 2022)

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
I've been telling old stories, singing old songs
Makes me think about where I came from
And 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
And now I'm going home
And if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia you're everything I've ever had

I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
And I've lost the friends, I needed losing
And found some more in the way
And I've kissed the ladies
And left them crying
Stolen dreams, oh there's no denying
And I've travelled on
With my conscience flying
Somewhere in the wind

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
And if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia you're everything I've ever had

Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, and 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'll do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken
And the kisses flow
Well I will disappear

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
And if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia you're everything I've ever had

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 you're everything I've ever had
Caledonia you're everything I've ever had
