[Verse 1:]
I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket to 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
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

[Repeat Chorus:]
