I'm sitting in the railway staition
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night stands my suicase and guitar
in hand
And ev'ry 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 waiting
Silently for me
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And ev'ry 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 waiting
Silently 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 mediocrity
Like 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 waiting
Silently for me
