- Simon and Garfunkel: Homeward Bound (p. Simon, 1966)
-
- I'm 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 ev'ry 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 escaping,
- Home where my music's playing,
- Home where my love lies waiting
- Silently for me.
-
- Ev'ry day's an endless stream
- Of cigarettes and magazines.
- And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
- And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
- Homeward bound,
- I wish I was,
- Homeward bound,
- Home where my thought's escaping,
- Home where my music's playing,
- Home where my love lies waiting
- Silently for me.
-
- 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 emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
- Homeward bound,
- I wish I was,
- Homeward bound,
- Home where my thought's escaping,
- Home where my music's playing,
- Home where my love lies waiting
- Silently for me.
- Silently for me.
