Far From The Home I Love Lyrics - Fiddler On The Roof - Jerry Bock

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.
