I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destinationOn a tour of one night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
Every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man bandHomeward 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 meEvery day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazinesAnd each town looks the same to me
For movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to beHomeward 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 meBut all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness and harmony
I need someone to comfort meHomeward 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
