"Caledonia" lyrics

KT Tunstall & Alan Cumming Lyrics

"Caledonia"
(originally by Dougie MacLean)

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
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

Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Oh, 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 tried and I'll keep on trying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
Traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

But 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 become a stranger
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
Well, 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 have shaken and the kisses flow
Well, I will disappear

But let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me and I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
