Caledonia - Frankie Miller

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 stories, singing songs,

That make me think about where I come from.

That’s the reason why I seem

So far away today.

(Chorus)

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 shall become a stranger,

Know that it would make me more than sad,

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)
