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