Art Garfunkel Homeward Bound Lyrics

Homeward Bound Lyrics

------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I'm sitting in the railway station. 

Got a ticket to my destination.


On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. 

And
ev'ry stop is neatly planned 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 music's playing, 

Home where my
love lies waiting 

Silently for me. 



Ev'ry day's an endless
stream 

Of cigarettes and magazines. 

And each town looks the same
to me, the movies and the factories 

And ev'ry 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 escaping, 

Home 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 game
and pretend. 

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
thought's escaping, 

Home where my music's playing, 

Home where my
love lies waiting 

Silently for me. 

Silently for me.
