Homeward Bound

       I'm sittin' in the railway station 
       Got a ticket for my destination............mm 
       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 magazine........mm 
       And each town looks the same to me 
       The movies and the factories 
       And ev'ry stranger's face I see 
       Remind me that I long to be 
       [repeat *] 

       Tonight I sing my songs again 
       I'll play the game and pretend........mm 
       But all my words come back to me 
       In shade of mediocrity 
       Like emptiness in harmony 
       I need someone to comfort me 
       [repeat *]
