Homeward Bound

I m sitting in the railway station

Got a ticket to my destination, hmmmm

On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand

And ev ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band



Homeward bound,

I wish I was,

Homeward bound

Home, where my thought s escaping

Home, where my music s playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me



Ev ry day s an endless stream

of cigarettes and magazines, hmmmm

And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

And ev ry stranger s face I see reminds me that I long to be,



Homeward bound,

I wish I was,

Homeward bound

Home, where my thought s escaping

Home, where my music s playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me



Tonight I ll sing my songs again,

I ll play the game and pretend, hmmmm

But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me



Homeward bound,

I wish I was,

Homeward bound

Home, where my thought s escaping

Home, where my music s playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

Silently for me
