C               G
I don't know if you can see
    Am                     F
The changes that have come over me
         C                  G
In these last few days I've been afraid
       Am          F
That I might drift away
          C                G
I've been telling stories, singing songs
     Am                  F
That make me think about where I come from
C                 G
That's the reason why I seem
   Am       F
So far away today

C                      G
Let me tell you that I love you
       Am                      F
That I think about you all the time
                 C
Caledonia you're calling me
        G     C
Now I'm going home
    C                   G
But if I shall become a stranger
          Am                         F
Know that it would make me more than sad
                 G                 *  C
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Now I have moved and 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 lads and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience
Flying
Somewhere in the wind

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