Im 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 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 escaping
Home where my musics 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 strangers face I see reminds me that I long to be

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thoughts 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.
But all my [bad word] back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone [bad word] me.

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thoughts escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.
