The Last Rose Of Summer

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
These last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift awayI'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 todayLet me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
Now I'm going homeBut if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever hadNow I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the wayI've kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I've traveled hard sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the windLet me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
Now I'm going homeBut if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever hadNow I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered now, they've goneBut 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 disappearLet me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
Now I'm going homeBut if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever hadCaledonia's been everything I've ever had
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
