Howeward Bound Songtext
von Simon & Garfunkel

I′m sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my destination
Mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music′s playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

Every day′s an endless stream of cigarettes and magazines
Mm, mm
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


Homeward-bound
I wish I was homeward-bound
Home, where my thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music's playin′
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

Tonight I′ll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend
Mm, mm, mm
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 thoughts are escaping
Home, where my music′s playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Silently for me
