Capo 1st fret
[Verse]
I m sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm
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.
[Chorus]
Homeward bound, wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought s escaping
Home where my music s playing,
Home where my love lays waiting
Silently for me.
[Verse]
Ev ry day s an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm
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,
[Chorus]
Homeward bound, wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought s escaping
Home where my music s playing,
Home where my love lays waiting
Silently for me.
[Verse]
Tonight I ll sing my songs again,
I ll play the game and pretend, mmmm
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
[Chorus]
Homeward bound, wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought s escaping
Home where my music s playing,
Home where my love lays waiting
Silently for me.
[Outro]
Silently for me.
