I'm sittin' in the railway station    got a ticket for my destination  hm ...  On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase  and guitar in hand  and every stop is neatly planned  for a poet and 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 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.    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.    Tonight I'll sing my song again    I'll play the game and pretend hm ...  But all my words come back to me  in shades of mediocrity  like emptiness in harmony  I need someone to comfort me.    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.
