I'm s itting in a railway station, Got a t icket for my d estina tion .

On a tour of one night stands, My su itcase and guitar in hand,

And ev ery stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one man band.

Home ward bo und, I wish I w as homeward bou nd,

Ho me, where my tho ughts are 'scaping,

Ho me, where my mu sic's playing,

Ho me, where my love lies waiting si lently for m e.

Everyday's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines.

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...

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.
