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
