Lyrics

Caledonia
© David Rintoul

Verse 1

As the fog rolls in and the sky turns grey,
I find my mind drifting far away.
Misty mountains, running streams,
Magic castles from a dream,
You'll be there when all of us are gone.

Chorus

Caledonia,
Mythic mountain land,
Nowhere is a place so brave and grand.
Caledonia,
Mountains, moors and sea,
Now I know you are a part of me.

Verse 2

Do you draw your strength from you heathered hills,
Or from the sea that your deep locks fill?
Place names in the Gaelic tongue,
Ancient and forever young,
You'll be there when all of us are gone.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3

You are not my home but I come from you.
Generations pass and you still shine through.
All the world is in your debt,
And you are not finished yet,
You'll be there when all of us are gone.

(Repat Chorus)

Coda

As the fog rolls in and the sky turns grey,
I find my mind drifting far away.
