Homeward Bound
Journey of Longing: Homeward Melodies
Lyrics
I'm sitting in the railway station.
I am currently at the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
I have a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
I am on a tour of one-night stands with my suitcase and guitar.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Every stop on the tour is carefully planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I am heading home.
I wish I was,
I express a desire to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Reiteration of the desire to be homeward bound.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is where my thoughts find release.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where my music is playing.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where my love is patiently waiting for me.
Silently for me.
My love is silently waiting for my return.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Every day feels like an endless stream.
Of cigarettes and magazines.
My experiences consist of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
Every town looks the same, filled with movies and factories.
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Every unfamiliar face I see reminds me of my longing to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Expressing the desire to go home.
I wish I was,
Reiterating the wish to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Again, expressing the desire to go home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is where my thoughts find release.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where my music is playing.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where my love is patiently waiting for me.
Silently for me.
My love is silently waiting for my return.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
Tonight, I will perform my songs again.
I'll play the game and pretend.
I will play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
All my words come back to me with a sense of mediocrity.
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Feelings of emptiness in harmony, seeking comfort from someone.
Homeward bound,
Expressing the desire to go home.
I wish I was,
Reiterating the wish to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Again, expressing the desire to go home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is where my thoughts find release.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where my music is playing.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where my love is patiently waiting for me.
Silently for me.
My love is silently waiting for my return.
Silently for me.
Reiteration that my love is silently waiting for me.
