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 peolple 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 wandring so 
Far from the home I love
Yet there with my love I'm home.
