I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destinationOn a tour of one night stands, my suitcase and guitar in handAnd every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man bandHomeward bound, I wish I was homeward boundHome, where my thoughts escape in Home, where my music's playin'Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for meEvery day's an endless dream of cigarettes and magazinesAnd each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factoriesAnd every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to beHomeward bound, I wish I was homeward boundHome, where my thoughts escape in Home, where my music's playin'Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for meTonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretendBut all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrityLike emptiness and harmony, I need someone to comfort meHomeward bound, I wish I was homeward boundHome, where my thoughts escape in Home, where my music's playin'Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for meSilently for me*
