Homeward Bound

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

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend,
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony,
I need somone to comfort me.

Homeward bound...
