Homeward Bound

I'm sittin' in the railway stationGot a ticket for my destination, MmmOn a tour of one night standsMy suitcase and guitar in handAnd every stop is neatly plannedFor a poet and a one man bandHomeward boundI wish I wasHomeward boundHome, where my thought's escapingHome, where my music's playingHome, where my love lies waitingSilently for meEveryday's an endless streamOf cigarettes and magazines, Mmm,And each town looks the same to meThe movies and the factoriesAnd every stranger's face I seeReminds me that I long to beHomeward boundI wish I wasHomeward boundHome, where my thought's escapingHome, where my music's playingHome, where my love lies waitingSilently for meTonight I'll sing my songs againI'll play the game and pretend, Mmm,But all my words come back to meIn shades of mediocrityLike emptiness in harmonyI need someone to comfort meHomeward boundI wish I wasHomeward boundHome, where my thought's escapingHome, where my music's playingHome, where my love lies waitingSilently for meSilently for meSilently for me
