[00:05.30]I'm sitting in the railway station.
[00:08.17]Got a ticket to my destination.
[00:10.29]On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
[00:21.33]And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
[00:28.22]Homeward bound,
[00:31.09]I wish I was,
[00:33.27]Homeward bound,
[00:36.83]Home where my thought's escaping,
[00:39.64]Home where my music's playing,
[00:42.04]Home where my love lies waiting
[00:44.79]Silently for me.
[00:48.59]Ev'ry day's an endless stream
[00:52.40]Of cigarettes and magazines.
[00:54.77]
[00:58.84]And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
[01:03.74]And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
[01:10.56]Homeward bound,
[01:13.45]I wish I was,
[01:15.94]Homeward bound,
[01:19.19]Home where my thought's escaping,
[01:21.68]Home where my music's playing,
[01:24.11]Home where my love lies waiting
[01:26.80]Silently for me.
[01:30.67]Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
[01:33.16]I'll play the game and pretend.
[01:36.80]
[01:40.81]But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
[01:45.80]Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
[01:52.25]Homeward bound,
[01:55.24]I wish I was,
[01:57.55]Homeward bound,
[02:01.04]Home where my thought's escaping,
[02:03.48]Home where my music's playing,
[02:05.91]Home where my love lies waiting
[02:08.41]Silently for me.
[02:10.66]Silently for me.
