Homeward Bound

Paul Simon / Simon & Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence (1965)

G Bm E E7
I'm sitting in a railway station, Got a ticket for my destination.
Am F
On a tour of one night stands, My suitcase and guitar in hand,
G
And every stop is neatly planned - For a poet and a one man band.
G C G C
Homeward bound, - I wish I was homeward bound,
G C G C
Home, where my thoughts are 'scaping, - Home, where my music's playing,
G C Am Am7
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me.
 
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... 
Homeward bound, - I wish I was homeward bound, 
Home, where my thoughts are 'scaping, - 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 thoughts are 'scaping, - Home, where my music's playing, 
Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me. 
Silently for me...
