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 his 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 ev'ry hope but his, |
|
Leaving the home I love, |
|
There where my heart has settled long ago |
|
I must go, 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. |
|
|
|
How can she think we wouldn't understand |
|
Why she does what she does, |
|
Why she must travel to a distant land, |
|
Far from the home she loves. |
|
Once she was happily content to be |
|
As she was, where she was, |
|
Safe in the bosom to her family, |
|
Here in the home she loves. |
|
Who could see that a man could come |
|
Who would change the shape of my dreams. |
|
Helpless now she stands with him, |
|
Watching older dreams grow dim. |
|
Oh, what a melancholy choice this is, |
|
Wanting home, wanting him, |
|
Closing her heart to ev'ry hope but his, |
|
Leaving the home she loves, |
|
There where her heart has settled long ago |
|
She must go, she must go, she must go, |
|
Who could imagine she'd be wand'ring so |
|
Far from the home she loves |
|
Yet there with her love, she's home. |
