Homeward Bound

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sittin' in a railway station Got a ticket for my destination, mm-mm-mm 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 [Chorus] Homeward bound I wish I was homeward bound Home, where my thoughts are strayin' Home, where my music's playin' Home, where my love lies waitin' Silently for me [Verse 2] Every day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines, mm-mm-mm 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 [Chorus] Homeward bound I wish I was homeward bound Home, where my thoughts are strayin' Home, where my music's playin' Home, where my love lies waitin' Silently for me [Verse 3] Tonight, I'll sing my songs again Play the game and pretend, mm-mm-mm But all my thoughts come back to me In shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me [Chorus] Homeward bound I wish I was homeward bound Home, where my thoughts are strayin' Home, where my music's playin' Home, where my love lies waitin' Silently for me
