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 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 escaping,Home where my music's playing,Home where my love lies waitingSilently for me.Every day's an endless streamOf cigarettes and magazines.And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factoriesAnd every 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 waitingSilently 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 mediocrityLike 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 waitingSilently for me.Silently for me.
