John Williams - Far From The Home I Love Lyrics
[TEVYE, spoken]
And he asks you to leave your father and mother, and join him in that frozen wasteland, and marry him there?
[HODEL, spoken]
No, Papa, he did not ask me to go. I want to go.
[TEVYE, spoken]
Hodel...
[HODEL, spoken]
Papa...
(sung)
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 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
(spoken)
Papa, God alone knows when we shall see each other again.
[TEVYE, spoken]
Well then, we will leave it in His hands.
