    Google next time! Type in the words you know and you will get:
    Caledonia
    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

    Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
    That I think about you all the time
    Caledonia you're calling me
    And now I'm going home
    If I should become a stranger
    You know that it would make me more than sad
    Caledonia's been everything
    I've ever had

    Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
    Proved the points that I needed proving
    Lost the friends that I needed losing
    Found others on the way
    I have kissed the ladies and left them crying
    Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
    I have traveled hard with coattails flying
    Somewhere in the wind

    (Chorus)
    Now I'm sitting here before the fire
    The empty room, the forest choir
    The flames that could not 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 are shaken and the kisses flow
    Then I will disappear

    Did you Google your exact words?

    This part is gobbledegook and not part of the lyrics!
    The actual word is SOMETHING

    .... somthing somthing somthing now im going home

    Hey Grimes,

    It's definitely Caledonia, which is a folky standard and a damn good one too. Lots of people have recorded it - Dolores Keane and the like.
