Far From The Home I Love How can I hope to make you understand
Why I do, what I do.
Why I must travel to a distant land,
Far from the home I love. Once I was happily content to be
As I was, where I was,
Close to the people who are close to me,
Here in the home I love. Who could see that a man could come
Who would change the shape of my dreams.
Helpless now I stand with him,
Watching older dreams grow dim. Oh, what a melancholy choice this is,
Wanting home, wanting him,
Closing my heart to every hope but his,
Leaving the home I love. There where my heart has settled long ago
I must go, I must go.
Who could imagine I'd be wand'ring so
Far from the home I love. Yet there with my love, I'm home.
