Lyrics:
(Paul Simon)I'm sittin' in the railway stationGot a ticket for a destinationOn a tour of one night standsMy suitcase and guitar in hand.And every stop is neatly plannedFor a poet and a one man bandHomeward boundI wish I was homeward bound.Home where my thought's escapingHome where my music's playingHome where my love lies waitingSilently for me.Every day's an endless streamOf cigarettes and magazinesAnd each town looks the same to meFor movies and the factories.And every stranger's face I seeReminds me that I long to beHomeward boundI wish I was homeward bound.--- Instrumental ---But all my words come back to meIn shades of mediocrityLike emptiness and harmonyI need someone to comfort me.Homeward boundI wish I was homeward bound.--- Instrumental to fade ---
