A
I'm sitting in the railway station
C#m/G# C#dim/G F#
Got a ticket for my destination, mm-mmm
Bm G
On a tour of one-night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand
A E A
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and one-man band
(A) D A
Homeward bound, I wish I was
D
Homeward bound
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my thought's escaping
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my music's playing
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my love lies waiting
E A
Silently for me
A
Every day's an endless stream
C#m/G# C#dim/G F#
Of cigarettes and magazines, mm-mmm
Bm G
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
A E A
And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be
(A) D A
Homeward bound, I wish I was
D
Homeward bound
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my thought's escaping
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my music's playing
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my love lies waiting
E A
Silently for me
A
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
C#m/G# C#dim/G F#
I'll play the game and pretend, mm-mmm
Bm G
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
A E A
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me
(A) D A
Homeward bound, I wish I was
D
Homeward bound
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my thought's escaping
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my music's playing
A Bm A G D/A
Home where my love lies waiting
E A
Silently for me
C#m/G# C#dim/G A
Silently for me
