Lyrics Far from the Home I Love - Zero Mostel , Julia Migenes

How can I hope to make you understand
What I do, why I do
Why I must I 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 would 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 wandering so
Far from the home I love?
Yet
There with my love, I'm home.
