i'm sittin'in the railway station
got a ticket for my destination
mhmm
on a tour of one night stands
my suitcase and guitar in hand
and every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and 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
mhmm
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 play the game and pretend
mhmm
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
