I`m sittin` in the railway station
got a ticket for my destination
hm ...
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase
and guitar in hand
and every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and 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 song again
I`ll play the game and pretend hm ...
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.
