Intro : I'm sittin in a 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 CHORUS: 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 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 stranger's face I see Reminds me that I long to be CHORUS 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 emptyness in harmony I need someone to comfort me. CHORUS ... Silently for me ...
