Petula Clark - Homeward Bound Lyrics
(Paul Simon)I'm sitting in the railway stationGot a ticket for my destinationOn a tour of one-night standsMy suitcase and guitar in handAnd ev'ry stop is neatly plannedFor a poet and a one-man bandCHORUS:Homeward boundI wish I wasHomeward boundHome where my thought's escapingHome where my music's playingHome where my love is waitingSilently for meEv'ry day's an endless streamOf cigarettes and magazinesAnd each town looks the same to meThe movies and the factoriesAnd ev'ry stranger's face I seeReminds me that I long to beCHORUSTonight, I'll sing my songs againI'll play the game and pretendBut all my words come back to meIn shades of mediocrityLike emptiness in harmony,I need someone to comfort meCHORUSHomeward boundI wish I was(repeat and fade out)
