I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination.
I just wanted to sing that before
I really knew that I didn't know the words.

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.

I wanna keep going I just don't know the words.
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 face I long to 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, silently, so silently,
I sing with apologies, with apologies...
