From the 1960 musical “Wildcat”
Words by Carolyn Leigh
Music by Cy Coleman
The sheet music:
Lyrics
You’ll hear again familiar talk again
And walk again the streets you left behind
And you’ll see once more the house
That welcome door and all the things
You journeyed back to find
But through all the spell of dear things everywhere
If no one’s there to beg you not to roam
Then you might as well be lost a star away, for
You’re still far away from home
