Simon & Garfunkel Homeward Bound Lyrics

I'm sittin' in the railway station

got a ticket for my destination
hm ...
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase
and guitar in hand
and every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and 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
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 song again

I'll play the game and pretend hm ...
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.
