Homeward Bound

[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
