Homeward Bound (live) Lyrics

I'm sittin' in the railway station,
Got a ticket for my destination,
On a tour of one-night stands, my suitcase
and guitar in hand
And ev'ry 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.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the
movies and the factories
And ev'ry 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
Silently for me
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 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
