Homeward Bound Harry Belafonte

[Verse 1]
Oh, I'm sittin' by the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination, ooh
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

[Chorus]
Home, where my thoughts are straying
And home, where my music's playing
And home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

[Verse 2]
Each day becomes an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines, mm
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

[Chorus]
Home, where my thoughts are straying
And home, where my music's playing
And home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

[Verse 3]
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
