Blake Rose Sweet Caledonia Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a highland wedding
For two love-stricken faces
Trick are wasting [?] and hearts were full
And these cold, stone blue walls
With luscious garden pathways
That line 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 went

[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 shadow?

[Verse 3]
We'd use pocket knives to carve weapons
Adventure out into the woods That stretch for miles from the backyard fence
Beneath the canopies, we'd fight
Imaginary beings
Like all the ones we 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]
Yeah, I can still taste sweet Caledonia
Sweet Caledonia
Sweet Caledonia (Oh, oh, I'm fading)
Sweet Caledonia
(And I can still taste) Sweet Caledonia
You see it when you start to go
How far, the little things, they go
Yeah, I can still taste sweet Caledonia
Our youth is like a breaking road
It's hard to ever really know
It'll stay with you when you're older
