I'm sittin' in the railway station

Got a ticket for my destination, mmm

On a tour of one night stands

My suitcase and guitar at 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 escaping

Home, where my music's playing

Home, where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

Every day's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines, mmm

And each town looks the same to me

The movies and the factories

And every 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, mmm

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
