I'm sittin' in
a railway station
got a ticket
for my destination
Oh oh ooh
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
Everyday's an
endless stream
of cigarettes
and magazines
Oh oh ooh
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 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
Oh oh ohhh
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
