Dougie MacLean - Caledonia

I dont know if you can see,
the changes that have come over me
In these last few days,
ive been afraid that i might drift away
And ive been tellin old stories,
singing songs
That made me think about where
i came from
Thats the reason why
i seem so far away today.

CHORUS

But let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia your callin me and
now I'm goin' home
But if I should become a stranger
You know that it would make
me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything
I've ever had.

Well I have moved on,
kept on moving
Proved the points
that I needed prooving
Lost the friends that
I needed loosing
Found others
on the way
I have kissed the ladies
and left them crying
Stolen dreams yes
theres no denying
I have travelled hard
with coat-tails flying
Somewhere with
the wind

REPEAT CHORUS

Now I'm sitting here,
before the fire
The empty room the
forest choir
The flames that couldn't
get any higher
But 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 flown
I will dissapear.

REPEAT CHORUS

One does not have to be a Celt or Scottish to be moved by this truly Beautiful and Haunting Song. Anyone who has a passion and love for their Homeland will be touched by it. Beautiful images of my Beloved Alba.

In my opinion, Dougie MacLean songs will be remembered in 200 years as Robert Burn's poetry is today...
