Homeward Bound

(Paul Simon)

I'm sitting in the railway station

Got a ticket for 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

Chorus:

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home where my thought's escaping

Home where my music's playing

Home where my love is 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

Chorus

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

Chorus

Homeward bound

I wish I was

(repeat and fade out)
