Homeward Bound
Journey of Longing: Chad & Jeremy's Homeward Bound
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.
Each stop on my tour is carefully planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I am longing to go home.
I wish I was,
I express a desire to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
I reiterate my wish to go home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is where my thoughts find solace.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where my music is playing.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where my love patiently waits for me in silence.
Silently for me.
My love is silently waiting for me at home.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Every day feels like a continuous flow.
Of cigarettes and magazines.
My days consist of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
Every town looks the same to me, filled with movies and factories.
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Every unfamiliar face I encounter reminds me of my longing to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Expressing the desire to go home once again.
I wish I was,
Reiterating the wish to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Expressing a strong desire to return home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is where my thoughts find peace.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where my music brings joy.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where my love awaits me silently.
Silently for me.
My love is patiently waiting for me at home.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
Tonight, I will perform my songs once again.
I'll play the game and pretend.
I will engage in the performance, pretending as part of the game.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
My words, however, return to me with a sense of mediocrity.
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Feeling a sense of emptiness in the harmony, I seek comfort from someone.
Homeward bound,
Expressing the wish to be homeward bound once again.
I wish I was,
Reiterating the desire to go home.
Homeward bound,
Expressing a strong longing to return home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is where my thoughts find solace.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where my music brings joy.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where my love awaits me silently.
Silently for me.
My love is patiently waiting for me at home.
Silently for me.
Reiterating that my love is silently waiting for me.
