[Verso 1]
I'm sitting in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night-stands, my suitcase and guitar at hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band
[Coro]
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escape, at home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me
[Verso 2]
Every day's an endless dream of cigarettes and magazines
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
[Coro]
[Verso 3]
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 and harmony, I need someone to comfort me
