Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel

Homeward Bound

I'm sittin' in the railway station 
Got a ticket for my destination, Mmm
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

Everyday's an endless stream 
Of cigarettes and magazines, 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

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, Mmm,
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
Silently for me
