Homeward Bound Lyrics

I'm sitting in a railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one-man band

So homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound
Home, with my thoughts escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

And every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
An every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be

Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound
Home, with my thoughts escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love is waiting
Silently for me

Tonight I'll sing those songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness and harmony
I need someone to come for me

Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound
Home, with my thoughts escapinjg
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love is waiting
Silently for me

Silently for me
Silently for me
