I have now listened to the song as sung by Petina and by Willi Burke on the recording of The Anastasia Affaire (aka Anastasia, the Musical). Listening to Burke helped, but she also sings it with a thick accent and . . . well, this is my best guess.

A faint guitar plays a melancholy strain
And through the pain, as I wait to know,
I nevermore can turn
Homeward, homeward . . .

Although it may be "And though the pain."

Neither seems to make that much sense.
