Far from the Home I Love
Fiddler on the Roof, Robert Merrill & The London Festival Orchestra So you are leaving your home to join that hero of yours But why won't you tell me where he is? It is far, Papa, terribly far He was arrested, he is in a settlement in Siberia
Siberia? And he asks you to join him in that frozen wasteland And marry him there? No, Papa, he did not ask me to go, I want to go But Hodel, baby But Papa
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
Well, give him my regards, this Moses of yours I always thought he was a good man Tell him I rely on his honor to treat my daughter well, tell him that Papa, God alone knows when we shall see each other again Then we will leave it in His hands
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
