Caledonia County lyrics

In the country life

I lie on my back and

Stack up the simple fruits of living

In the Caledonia way.

And the world appears

To clear up the dismal

Ghosts of the city

Like a sister. Whisper:

Come, now you’ll be

Home in the country with me.

On the days it rains

Go down to the brook

And look at the water rushing under

In the Caledonia way,

And the mountain mists,

The clouds they have kissed

Are one to another

Like a sister. Whisper:

Come, now you’ll be

Home in the country with me.

On the road that comes

From two hundred years

We’ll clear us a path for barefoot dancing

In the Caledonia way

And the elm is held

In time to desist:

To earth she’s returning

Like a sister. Whisper:

Come, now you’ll be

Home in the country with me.

And rest comes easily so to hold me

Caledonia, you have told me:

Be revived by the fire,

Restored by the bread;

Be fed in the light and warmth of music

In the Caledonia way,

For a gentle home

Where loving exists

Will heal up the spirit

Like a sister, whisper:

Come, now you’ll be

Home in the country with me.

Home in the country with me.
