lyrics

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.
