I'm sitting in a railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
I'm 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 thoughts escape in
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies
waiting silently for me
Now every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me,
the movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see re
minds me that I long to be
Homeward bound,
I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escapin'
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies
waitin' silently for me
But tonight I'll sing my songs again
And I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come
back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
Well, I need someone to
comfort me
Homeward bound I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought
s are escaping
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin'
silently for me
Home, homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thought
s escapin'
Home, where my music's playin'
When my love lies waiting
silently for me
Silently for me
