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.
