Homeward Bound Lyrics By Simon Garfunkel

    i’m sittin’ in the railway station
    got a ticket for my destination mmm
    on a tour of one night stands
    my suitcase and 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

    everyday’s an endless stream
    of cigarettes and magazines mmm
    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
    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 songs again
    i’ll play the game and pretend mmm
    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
    silently for me
