|
I'm sittin' 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 playin' |
|
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me |
|
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] |
|
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 repeats 2x] |
|
Silently for me |
