I'm in the railway station Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands My suitcase and guitar in 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, my love lies waiting Silently for me
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 be
Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought's 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 and pretend But all my words come back to me In shades of mediocrity Like emptyness in harmony I need someone to comfort
Homeward bound I wish I 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
