Homeward Bound
Dark, cold night at the station platform
Waiting for a way to get home
Ticket in hand, my thread of hope telling me I'll be there soon
People walking by, but no-one notices my
Heart smiling, cause I won't be lonely for much longer
I'll soon be in the arms of the ones I love
Oh, oh
I'll say goodbye to this city for a while
Oh, oh
Back to the life that used to be mine
Pass by the time, fly through the miles
'Til I'm back there in that little town
That calls me 'friend', welcomes me back again
How I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
The stone cold heart of the night shines down upon me
As I step out into that familiar air
And the silence greets me with open arms, and I know I'm home
Oh, oh
I'll say goodbye to this new life for a while
Oh, oh
Back to the smiles that make the world right
Pass by the time, fly through the miles
'Til I'm back there in that little town
That calls me 'friend', welcomes me back again
How I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
I guess it's true, distance makes the heart grow fonder
And my heart is here in this little town by the sea
Here it will stay, though far away I may wander
And the memories of my life here will stay with me
Oh, oh
I'll say goodbye
Pass by the time, fly through the miles
'Til I'm back there in that little town
That calls me 'friend', welcomes me back again
How I smile to say I'm homeward bound
I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
Waiting for a way to get home
Ticket in hand, my thread of hope telling me I'll be there soon
People walking by, but no-one notices my
Heart smiling, cause I won't be lonely for much longer
I'll soon be in the arms of the ones I love
Oh, oh
I'll say goodbye to this city for a while
Oh, oh
Back to the life that used to be mine
Pass by the time, fly through the miles
'Til I'm back there in that little town
That calls me 'friend', welcomes me back again
How I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
The stone cold heart of the night shines down upon me
As I step out into that familiar air
And the silence greets me with open arms, and I know I'm home
Oh, oh
I'll say goodbye to this new life for a while
Oh, oh
Back to the smiles that make the world right
Pass by the time, fly through the miles
'Til I'm back there in that little town
That calls me 'friend', welcomes me back again
How I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
I guess it's true, distance makes the heart grow fonder
And my heart is here in this little town by the sea
Here it will stay, though far away I may wander
And the memories of my life here will stay with me
Oh, oh
I'll say goodbye
Pass by the time, fly through the miles
'Til I'm back there in that little town
That calls me 'friend', welcomes me back again
How I smile to say I'm homeward bound
I smile to say I'm homeward bound
Oh, oh
