    I first heard Lisa from Celtic Woman sing this and loved it but this is so beautiful I almost cried. The harmony in the chorus is so different but so, so beautiful 💚 I just love your guys' musicality 💚

    I caught the High Kings in Cincinnati the winter before Martin Furey departed the band, and I have to confess that I tuned out once he left because - while I love them all - he was my favorite. Hearing this take on Caledonia by their newest member Paul has brought me back. I wish I hadn’t stopped paying attention. While I’d still love to hear Martin’s take on this song, Paul’s vocal on this is magical, and I can’t stop listening to it. I’m going to have to go back and see what they’ve been up to in my absence.

    I don't know if you can see the changes that have been over me
    These past few days I've been afraid that I might drift away
    been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I come from
    that's the reasons 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 and now I'm going home
    I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad
    Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
    I have moved and kept on moving, provеd the points that I needed proving
    Lost the friends that I needed losing, found others on the way
    I have kissed the girls and left them crying, stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
    I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind
    Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time
    Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home
    I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad
    Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
    I am sitting here before the fire, an empty room, a forest choir
    The flames that couldn'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, I will disappear
    Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time
    Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home
    I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad
    Caledonia's been everything I've ever
    Let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time
    Caledonia, you're calling me and now I'm going home
    I never shall become a stranger, it would make me more than sad
    Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
    Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

    I was recently in a play about a romance set in Scotland. I actually was able to travel to Scotland to perform it at the Edinburgh fringe festival. I didn't find this song till after the show, but it sums up the feelings so well.

    I've been hoping for a long time that The High Kings would record this. It's one of my favorite folk songs- maybe because I have a bit of Scottish blood in me?! Anyway, this is a lovely version. Nice job, guys! And Paul is a wonderful addition to the group. Can't wait to see them Sept. 10 in St. Paul!!

    Whenever I see or hear of one of the old traditional pubs of Dublin founded in the mid 1800s I don’t think of the time I went there. Instead I wonder if my great grandfather, born in Dublin and educated at Trinity ever had a pint there. This guy had a legend worthy life including sailing around the Horn to India and fighting in the Union Navy at Mobile Bay, finally becoming a Texan, but it all started in Dublin!

    I hope my husband doesn't read these comments because I'm about to ask Paul to marry me. I first heard Paul sing Caledonia about a year ago in Tarrytown NY and was absolutely smitten. With the song. And maybe with Paul.

      I just seen them live last night and absolutely feel in love with this song, I'd never heard him doing a solo. Now I will have to find all the songs he's singing. They all have great voices but his fits this song perfectly, absolutely breathtaking and reminds me of my hometown and my homesickness i have had to deal with.
