Homeward Bound
I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination
Mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines
Mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend
Mm, mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Silently for me
Mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines
Mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend
Mm, mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Silently for me
