Homeward Bound
I'm sitting in the railway station got a ticket for 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
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me
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, reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the 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
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me
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
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me
Home
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me
