I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination Mm・・・
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 Mm・・・
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 clay the game and pretend Mm・・・
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
