Homeward Bound
Journey of Longing: Fleetwood Mac's Homeward Bound
Lyrics
I want to sit at home in my rockin' chair
I desire to be at home, relaxing in my rocking chair.
I don't want to travel the world
I have no interest in traveling around the world.
As far as I'm concerned I've had my share
In my opinion, I've experienced enough in life.
But time's more precious than gold
Time is more valuable than wealth.
I don't wanna see another airplane seat
I don't want to endure another airplane journey.
Or another hotel room
Nor do I wish to stay in another hotel room.
The home life to me seems really neat
The simplicity of home life appeals to me.
I just wanna unpack for good
I just want to unpack and settle down permanently.
But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Provide me with a ticket to return home.
Homeward bound
Expressing a strong desire to go home.
But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Requesting a ticket to head homeward.
Ah, homeward bound
An emphatic expression of the desire to go home.
Well, it all seems the same when you've done it before
Every experience seems repetitive after doing it before.
There's no difference in the style
No distinction in the manner or approach.
There's no end in sight or my own front door
There is no foreseeable end or return to my own home.
I'll be a stay at home for awhile
I intend to be a stay-at-home person for a while.
So I'll have another drink and a cigarette
Choosing to have another drink and a cigarette to cope.
Just to console myself some how
As a means to console myself in some way.
It's not too bad if you can forget
It's bearable if I can manage to forget the challenges.
I just got to find a way somehow
Determined to find a way to return home somehow.
But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Requesting a ticket for the journey back home.
Homeward bound
Expressing a strong desire to go home again.
But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Requesting a ticket for the journey back home.
Ah, homeward bound
An emphatic expression of the desire to go home.
Buy me a ticket homeward bound
Requesting a ticket for the journey back home.
Homeward bound
Expressing a strong desire to go home.
