Lyric

It was a highland wedding

For two love-stricken faces

Treacle wasted and hearts were full

And these cold, stone blue walls

With luscious garden pathways

That line the outside and down the hill

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

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?

We'd use pocket knives to carve weapons

And venture 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

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

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 grow

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

- It's already the end -
