Homeward Bound

[Verse 1]

I'm sittin' at the railway station

Got a ticket for my destination, mmm

On a tour of one night stands

My suitcase and guitar in 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 thought's escaping

Home, where my music's playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

[Verse 2]

Everyday's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines, mmm

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]

Homeward bound

Oh, and 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

[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 in harmony

I need someone to comfort me

[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 lies waiting

Silently for me

[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 lies waiting

Silently for me

Silently for me
