Homeward Bound (Live)

I'm sitting in the railway station

Got a ticket for my destination

Mmm hmmm

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

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

Every day's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines

Mmm hmmm

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

Homeward bound

Oh and 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

Mmm hmmm

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

Homeward bound

I wish I was, oh, homeward bound now now

Home, where my thought's escaping

Home, where my music's playing

Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me

Silently for me
