Homeward Bound

Oh I'm sitting by the railway station

Got a ticket for my destination

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

hand

And every 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 a straying

And home where my music's playing

And home where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

Each day becomes an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines

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

factories

And every person's face I see reminds me that I long to

be

Homeward bound I wish I was homeward bound

Tonight I'll sing my songs again

Play the game and I'll pretend oh yeah

But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me

and take me

Homeward bound I wish I was homeward bound
