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.
