C I don't know if G you can see,
The Am changes that have come F over me.
In these C last few days I've G been afraid,
That I Am might drift F away.
I've been C telling stories, G singing songs,
That Am make me think about F where I come from.
C That's the reason G why I seem
So Am far away F today.
(Chorus)
C Let me tell you that I G love you,
That I Am think about you all the F time.
Caledonia you're C calling me,
Now I'm G going C home.
But C if I shall become a G stranger,
Know that Am it would make me more than F 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.
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
Mary Black
