I'm in the railway station Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly 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 playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for
Everyday's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines And each town looks the same to The movies and the factories And every stranger's face I see Reminds me that I long to
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 Silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again I'll play the game and pretend But all my words come back to me In shades mediocrity Like emptyness in harmony I need someone comfort me
Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought's escaping Home, where music's playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Silently for me
