Capo III *

[Verse 1]

    
I'm sitting in

 the railway s

tation. 
            
Got a ticket f

             
or my destinat

  
ion. 
            
On a tour of o

              
ne-night stand

     
s my suitcase 

and guitar in 

hand. 
             
And ev'ry stop

              
 is neatly pla

             
nned for a poe

              
t and a one-ma

  
n band. 

[Chorus]

         
Homeward bound

, 
         
I wish I was, 
         
Homeward bound

 

             
Home where my 


thought's esca

ping, 
             
Home where my 


music's playin

g, 
             
Home where my 


love lies wait

ing 
        
Silently for m

e. 

[Verse 2]


Ev'ry day's an

 endless strea

m 
            
Of cigarettes 

           
and magazines.


 
            
And each town 

              
looks the same

            
 to me, the mo

vies and the f

actories 
             
And ev'ry stra

              
nger's face I 

             
see reminds me

              
 that I long t

  
o be,

[Chorus]

         
Homeward bound

, 
         
I wish I was, 
         
Homeward bound

             
Home where my 


thought's esca

ping, 
             
Home where my 


music's playin

g, 
             
Home where my 


love lies wait

ing 
        
Silently for m

e. 

[Verse 3]


Tonight I'll s

ing my songs a

gain, 
            
I'll play the 

             
game and prete

 
nd. 
            
But all my wor

              
ds come back t

        
o me in shades

 of mediocrity

 
             
Like emptiness

              
 in harmony I 

             
need someone t

          
o comfort me. 

[Chorus]

         
Homeward bound

, 
         
I wish I was, 
         
Homeward bound
 
             
Home where my 


thought's esca

ping, 
             
Home where my 


music's playin

g, 
             
Home where my 


love lies wait

ing 
        
Silently for m
