(capo up)
C
I'm sitting in the railway station,
Em Gm6 A7
Got a ticket for my destination, mm . . .
Dm
On a tour of one-night stands
Bb
My suitcase and guitar in hand,
C
And every stop is neatly planned
G7-C
For a poet and a one-man band.
<chorus>:
C F C F
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound.
C Dm C F
Home, with my thoughts escaping,
C Dm C F
Home, where my music's playing,
C Dm F G7 C
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.
C
Every day is an endless stream
Em Gm6 A7
Of cigarettes and magazines, mm . . .
|
Dm
And each town looks the same to me,
Bb
The movies and the factories,
C
And every stranger's face I see
G7-C
Reminds me that I long to be . . .
<chorus>
C
Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
Em Gm6 A7
I'll play the game and pretend, mm . . .
Dm
That all my words come back to me
Bb
In shades of mediocrity.
C
Like emptiness and harmony,
G7-C
I need someone to comfort me.
<chorus>
