Simon & Garfunkel - Homeward Bound

 

 

 

I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand
And ev'ry 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
 

Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
 
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be
 
Homeward bound
oh~ 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
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
