[Verse 1]
I'm sitting in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination, mhm
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 thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me

[Verse 2]
Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines, mhm
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend, mhm
But all my words 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 thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me
Silently for me
