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

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 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
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
Silently for me
