Verse 1

A*
I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination, mm-mmm
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

(A) D A
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

Verse 2

A*
Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines, mm-mmm
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

Chorus

(A) D A
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

Verse 3

A*
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend, mm-mmm
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me

Chorus

(A) D A
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

Outro

Silently for me
