Harry Belafonte - Homeward Bound

Oh, I'm sitting by the 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
Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound

Home where my thought's a straying
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Each day becomes an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every person's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound

Home where my thought's a straying
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Tonight I'll sing my songs again
Play the game and I'll pretend, oh yeah
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me and take me
Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound

Home where my thought's a straying
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Home where my thought's a straying
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
