It was a Highland wedding For two love stricken faces Treacle wasted and hearts were full In these cobblestone built walls With luscious garden pathways that lined 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 hide 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? My childhood We'd use pocket knives to carve weapons And venture out into the woods That stretched for miles from the backyard fence Beneath the canopies we'd fight imaginary beings Like all the ones we'd dream at night SongtexteHow 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? My childhood But I can still taste sweet Caledonia Sweet Caledonia Sweet Caledonia (oh you're fading away from me) Sweet Caledonia Yeah 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 brick in Rome It's hard to ever really know What'll stay with you when you're older Aus Songtexte Mania
