Caledonia - The Petersens (LIVE)

Описание: We had a chance while we were in Seattle to record this video in a park. We've heard many of our favorite Irish artists record this song and thought it would be a perfect project for us to release on St. Patrick's Day!

One of the most famous covers is by Irish folk singer Dolores Keane, who passed away yesterday 🤍

►LYRICS - Caledonia [the Roman name for 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
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today

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 should 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 I've kept on moving
I've proved the points that I needed proving
I've lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas, left them crying
I've stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I've traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind

So 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 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
The empty room, the forest quieter
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 the hands have shaken and the kisses flow
Then I will disappear

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 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 had
