Homeward Bound

I′m sittin' in the railway station

Got a ticket to my destination

On a tour of one-night stands

My suitcase and my jokes in hand

And every 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 escapin'

Home where my music's playin′

Home where my love lies waitin′

Silently for me

Every day's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines

And each town looks the same to me

The movies and the factoriеs

And every stranger′s facе I see

Reminds me that I long to be

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home where my thought's escapin′

Home where my music's playin′

Home where my love lies waitin'

Silently for me

Tonight I'll tell my gags 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 escapin'

Home where my music′s playin'

Home where my love lies waitin′

Silently for me

Home, home, homeward bound
