Capo 1st fret I'm sitting in the railway station. Got a ticket for my destination, mmmm On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand. And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band. Chorus: Homeward bound, wish I was, Homeward bound, Home where my thought's escaping Home where my music's playing, Home where my love lays waiting Silently for me. Ev'ry day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines, mmmm 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, Repeate chorus Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend, mmmm But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me. Repeate chorus Silently for me.
