i m sittin in the railway station got a ticket for my destination mmm 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 thought s escaping home where my music s playing home where my love lies waiting silently for me everyday s an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines mmm 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 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 tonight i ll sing my songs again i ll play the game and pretend mmm but all my words 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 thought s escaping home where my music s playing home where my love lies waiting silently for me silently for me5
