I'm sittin' in the railway station got a ticket for my destination mhm

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 waiting silently for me



Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines mhm

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...



Tonight I'll sing my songs again I'll play the game and pretend mhm

But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness and harmony I need someone to comfort me

Homeward bound...

Silently for me silently for me
