Singing a song – Homeward Bound

I’m sitting in the railway station, Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one-night stands. My suitcase and guitar in hand And every step is neatly planned For a poet and a one-man band CHORUS 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 And each town looks the same to me, The movies and factories, And every stranger’s face I see Reminds me that I long to be… (CHORUS) 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 (CHORUS)
