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
Homeward bound, I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thoughts are straying
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and
magazines
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the
factories
And every stranger's face I see reminds me where I long
to be
Homeward bound, I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thoughts are straying
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, play the game and
pretend
But all my thoughts 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 thoughts are straying
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
