[Verse 1]
I'm sitting in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night-stands, my suitcase and guitar at 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 escape, at home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me

[Verse 2]
Every day's an endless dream 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 that I long to be

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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 and harmony, I need someone to comfort me

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Silently for me
