Des & Dawn - Homeward Bound Lyrics

I'm sitting in the railway station got a ticket for my destination
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
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me

Every day's an endless stream 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

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound

Home
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the 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

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
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me

I'm sitting in the railway station, got a ticket to my destination
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
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me

Home
With my thought's escaping
Home
Where the music's playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting, silently for me
