Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  I'm sittin in a railway station

  Got a ticket for my destination

  On a tour of one night stands

  My suitcase and guitar in hand

  And every stop is neatly planned

  For a poet and a one man band

Chorus

Homeward bound, I wish I was, Homeward bound

  | Home, where my thoughts escaping

  | Home, where my music's playing

  | Home, where my love lies waiting

  | Silently for me

  Every day's an endless stream

  Of cigarettes and magazines

  And each town looks the same to me

  The movies and the factories

  And every stranger's face I see

  Reminds me that I long to be

CHORUS

  Tonight I'll sing my songs again

  I'll play the game and pretend

  But all my words come back to me

  In shades of mediocrity

  Like emptyness in harmony

  I need someone to comfort me.

CHORUS ...

  Silently for me ...
