Track 7 written by Dougie MacLean, on Kelly Oliver's debut album This Land

lyrics

I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
in these last few days, I've been afraid we might drift away.
I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I've come from.
That's the reason why I seem so far away today.

So let me tell you that I love you, and I think about you all the time./
Caledonia you're calling me, now I'm going home.
And 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've moved and I've kept on moving, proved the points that I needed proving.
I've lost the friends I needed losing, found others on the way.
Why I've kissed the lads and left them crying, stolen dreams, yes there's no denying.
I've travelled on with conscience flying somewhere in the wind.

So let me tell you that I love you, and I think about you all the time./
Caledonia you're calling me, now I'm going home.
And 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, an empty room and a forest choir.
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher. Withered, now they're gone.
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear, I know just what I will do tomorrow.
The hands have shaken, the kisses blown, then I'll disappear.
