Homeward Bound

I'm sitting in the railway station
 Got a ticket for my destination, 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
 Homeward-bound
 I wish I was homeward-bound
 Home where my thoughts are skipping
 Home where my music's playing
 Home where my love lies waiting silently for me
 Every day's an endless stream 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
 Homeward-bound
 I wish I was homeward-bound
 Home where my thoughts are skipping
 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, mm-mm
 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 thoughts are skipping
 Home where my music's playing
 Home where my love lies waiting silently for me
 Silently for me
