Homeward Bound
Journey of Longing: Homeward Reflections
Lyrics
I'm sitting in the railway station.
Describing being in a train station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
Having a ticket to the intended destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
Engaging in a series of short performances with minimal luggage.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Each stop is well-planned for a traveling artist.
Homeward bound,
Expressing a desire to return home.
I wish I was,
Expressing a strong wish to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Reiterating the longing to go home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is where thoughts find peace.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where music is present.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where love patiently waits.
Silently for me.
Highlighting the anticipation of a loved one's silent wait.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Life feels monotonous and continuous.
Of cigarettes and magazines.
Days consist of routine activities like smoking and reading magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
Observing the uniformity of towns with movies and factories.
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Every stranger reminds of the longing for home.
Homeward bound,
Reiteration of the desire to return home.
I wish I was,
Expressing a strong wish to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Reaffirming the longing to go home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home offers an escape for thoughts.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where music brings comfort.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where love patiently waits.
Silently for me.
Emphasizing the silent anticipation of love at home.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
Planning to perform songs again tonight.
I'll play the game and pretend.
Engaging in the performance while pretending.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Feeling dissatisfied with one's own words and actions.
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Seeking solace in someone's comforting presence.
Homeward bound,
Expressing the desire to return home.
I wish I was,
Strongly wishing to be homeward bound.
Homeward bound,
Reiterating the longing to go home.
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home is an escape for thoughts.
Home where my music's playing,
Home is where music brings solace.
Home where my love lies waiting
Home is where love patiently waits.
Silently for me.
Emphasizing the silent anticipation of love at home.
Silently for me.
Reiterating the silent wait for love at home.
