I'm sitting in
the railway station
got a ticket
for my destination
mmm
On a tour of
one-night stands
my suitcase
and guitar in hand
And every stop
is neatly planned
for a poet or
a one-man band
Homeward bound
l 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
mmm
And each town
looks the same to me
the movies
and the factories
And every
stranger's face I see
reminds me
how I long to be
Homeward bound
l 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 make believe
and pretend
mmm
But thoughts keep
coming back to me
in shades of mediocrity'
Like emptiness
in harmony
I need someone
to comfort me
Homeward bound
l 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
