I m sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination, hmmmm
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand
And ev ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and 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, hmmmm
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
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, hmmmm
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
Silently for me
