"Homeward Bound" lyrics
(originally by Simon And Garfunkel)
I'm sitting in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination, mm
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, mm
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
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, mm
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
Silently for me
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, mm
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
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, mm
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
Silently for me
