Dougie McLean sings "Caledonia" for Yes Scotland(independence referendum this Thursday) [View all]
("Caledonia" is the ancient name for what is now Scotland. This would be a great national anthem for an independent Scotland)
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
And I've been tellin old stories, singing songs
That made me think about where I came from
And That's the reason why I seem so far away today.
CHORUS
Oh 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 you,ve been everythin I've ever had.
Well I've been moved, and I've kept on movin
Proved the points that I needed proovin
Lost the friends I needed loosin
Found others on the way
I have tried and I've kept on tryin
Stolen dreams yes there's no denying
Travelled hard with contience flyin
Somewhere with the wind
REPEAT CHORUS
Now I'm sitting here, before the fire
The empty room the forest choir
Flames that couldnt get any higher
They've withered now there gone
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear,
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands I've shaken and the kisses flown I will dissapear.
REPEAT CHORUS
(note: I just corrected one line in the lyrics I posted, after realizing that Dougie had altered it from the lyrics I'd found online).
