Caledonia

CALEDONIA
Lyrics by Dougie MacLean

I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today

CHORUS
Ah but let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

I have moved and kept on moving proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing found others on the way
I have tried and I've kept on trying stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind
CHORUS

Now I'm sitting here before the fire, the empty room, the 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 Oh I will disappear
CHORUS

This badge has nothing to do with tennis, tenuous would be a better description.

#1. It's Scottish - as is Andy Murray

#2. It's very old - unlike Andy Murray

#3. Patrick Hughes and Raymond Tuckey were the last British players to win the mens doubles, 76 years ago - Today Jonathan Marray, along with his (wildcard) partner Frederik Nielsen, of Denmark became the latest to do so.

#4. It's 74 years since the Empire Exhibition - it's 74 years since Henry 'Bunny' Austin became the last British male in a final.
And it's 76 years since a british player won the mens singles at wimbledon - tomorrow Andy Murray hopes to emulate the legendary Fred Perry.

He carries the hopes of the nation. I hope he feels elated not weighted by the task ahead.

Good luck Andy

We're right behind you!
