I'm sitting in the railway Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands My suitcase 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 thought's escaping Home, where my music's playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me
Everyday's an endless stream Of and magazines And each town looks the same to me The 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 where my thought's escaping Home, where my music's playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me
I'll sing my songs again I'll play the game and pretend But my words come back to me In shades of mediocrity Like emptyness in harmony I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound I wish was Homeward bound Home, where my thought's Home, where my music's playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Silently for me
