I'm sitting in the railway stati on, got a ticket for my desti nation, hum,um
um
On a tour of one night stands my s
uitcase and my guitar hand
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one man b
and
Homeward bo und, I wish I w as, Homeward bo
und
Home where my thoughts escaping home, where m y music's playing
home
Where my love lies waiting s ilently for
me
Every day's an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines, hum, um, um
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
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend, hum, um, um
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me
