Homeward Bound lyrics

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I`m sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev`ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a 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.
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.
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.
