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.
