Homeward Bound

[Verse 1]

I'm sitting in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination

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

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

[Chorus]

Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound

Home, where my thoughts escape, at home, where my music's playing

Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me

[Verse 2]

Every day's an endless dream of cigarettes and magazines

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

And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

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 and harmony, I need someone to comfort me

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]

Silently for me
