Homeward Bound

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
