Homeward Bound
Journey of Longing: Homeward Bound's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
I'm sittin' 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
I'm on a tour consisting of one-night performances.
My suitcase and guitar in hand
I have my suitcase and guitar with me.
And every stop is neatly planned
Each stop on my tour is carefully planned.
For a poet and a one-man band
I am both a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound
Expressing the desire to go back home.
I wish I was
Expressing a wish to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound
Yearning to be homeward bound.
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home is where my thoughts find relief.
Home where my music's playin'
Home is where my music is playing.
Home where my love lies waitin'
Home is where my love is patiently waiting for me.
Silently for me
Expressing the silence of love waiting for the singer.
Every day's an endless stream
Every day feels monotonous, filled with cigarettes and magazines.
Of cigarettes and magazines
Describing a repetitive stream of daily life.
And each town looks the same to me
Every town appears identical to the singer.
The movies and the factories
Mentioning the common sights of movies and factories.
And every stranger's face I see
Every unfamiliar face reminds the singer of the longing for home.
Reminds me that I long to be
Expressing the desire to be homeward bound again.
Homeward bound
Reiterating the wish to be homeward bound.
I wish I was
Expressing the desire to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound
Home is where the singer's thoughts find peace.
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home is where the singer's music is playing.
Home where my music's playin'
Home is where the singer's love is patiently waiting.
Home where my love lies waitin'
Expressing the silence of love waiting for the singer.
Silently for me
Reiterating the silent anticipation of love.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
The singer plans to perform their songs again tonight.
I'll play the game and pretend
The singer will engage in the performance, pretending.
But all my words come back to me
All the words sung by the singer come back with a sense of mediocrity.
In shades of mediocrity
Expressing a feeling of emptiness within the harmony of the words.
Like emptiness in harmony
Describing the need for comfort in the face of emptiness.
I need someone to comfort me
Expressing the desire to be homeward bound again.
Homeward bound
Reiterating the wish to be homeward bound.
I wish I was
Expressing the desire to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound
Home is where the singer's thoughts find peace.
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home is where the singer's music is playing.
Home where my music's playin'
Home is where the singer's love is patiently waiting.
Home where my love lies waitin'
Expressing the silence of love waiting for the singer.
Silently for me
Reiterating the silent anticipation of love.
Silently for me
Expressing the silence of love waiting for the singer.
