"Homeward Bound" lyrics - THE BEAU BRUMMELS

I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination, um-hum
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) Yes, homeward bound
I wish I was (homeward bound) 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, um-hum
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...

(Homeward bound) Homeward bound
I wish I was (homeward bound) homeward bound
Yes, 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 I'll pretend, um-hum
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me

(Homeward bound) Yes, homeward bound
I wish I was (homeward bound) homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies
Waiting silently for me
(Homeward bound)
(Homeward bound)
(Homeward bound)
