Testo Homeward Bound Paul Simon
Iâm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And evâry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thoughtâs escaping,
Home where my musicâs playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Evâry dayâs an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And evâry strangerâs face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thoughtâs escaping,
Home where my musicâs playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Tonight Iâll sing my songs again,
Iâll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thoughtâs escaping,
Home where my musicâs playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.
