HOMEWARD BOUND

(by Paul Simon)


I'm sittin 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, where my thought's escaping
	Home, where my 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
Remind me that I long to be

	Homeward bound ...

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 ...
