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
