Sweet Caledonia Lyrics by Blake Rose

A World Gone By

2021

[Verse 1]
It was a Highland wedding
For two love-stricken faces
Treacle wasted and hearts were full
And these cobblestone-built walls
With luscious garden pathways
That lined the outside and down the hill
[Verse 2]
There was an old weeping willow
That stood where the path opened
It had a rope swing and white wood bench
We would sit there for ages
While our parents all drank like sailors
Wondering where these stars hide
[Chorus]
How did I get so far?
How did I get so far, running away from you?
How did I get so caught up?
How did I get so lost, trying to hide from you?
From my childhood?
[Verse 3]
We'd use pocket knives to carve weapons
And venture out into the woods
That stretched for miles from the backyard fence
Beneath the canopies, we'd fight imaginary beings
Like all the ones we'd dream at night
[Chorus]
How did I get so far?
How did I get so far, running away from you?
How did I get so caught up?
How did I get so lost, trying to hide from you?
From my childhood, yeah
[Outro]
And I can still taste sweet Caledonia
Sweet Caledonia
Sweet Caledonia (Oh, you're fading away from me)
Sweet Caledonia
And I can still taste (Sweet Caledonia, oh-ohh)
You see it when you start to grow
How far, the little things, they go
Yeah, I can still taste (Sweet Caledonia, oh-ohh)
Our youth is like a brick in Rome
It's hard to ever really know
What'll stay with you when you're older
